Prepare everything you need. Soak the gelatin in advance and let it swell.
15 g gelatin, 100 ml water
Crush the shortbread cookies into crumbs, melt the butter. Mix until you get a mass resembling wet sand.
150 g shortbread cookies, 100 g butter
Pour into a baking pan, here the diameter is 16 cm, tamp with a spoon or glass. Put in the refrigerator while you make the cottage cheese filling.
For the filling, put ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and matcha powder (sifted through a fine sieve) in a bowl.
250 g ricotta, 100 g powdered sugar, 1 tsp matcha powder
Whisk with a whisk until the sugar crystals disappear. If you are using powdered sugar, this will take a couple of seconds. Heat the swollen gelatin until dissolved in a water bath or in the microwave. While continuing to mix, pour in the gelatin in a thin stream.
15 g gelatin
Whip the cream separately until soft peaks form and gradually add it to the filling, turning on the mixer at low speed. Work quickly here, as the gelatin quickly begins to set when it comes into contact with cold cream.
150 ml cream
Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the layer of cookies.
Distribute evenly.
Put in the refrigerator to set and stabilize for 6-8 hours. Matcha cheesecake is ready.
