Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE MATCHA CHEESECAKE:

1 cup cream cheese, room temperature

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp matcha powder

2/3 cup white chocolate, melted

1 egg, room temperature

FOR THE BROWNIES

1/3 cup unsalted butter, diced

1 cup semi-sweet baking chocolate

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs, room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup sweet glutinous rice flour or all purpose flour

1 tbsp tapioca starch

1/4 tsp salt


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line an 8 by 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese (1 cup) and granulated sugar (1/4 cup) on medium speed until smooth, stopping to scrape the bowl with a spatula the bowl as needed.

Stop the mixer and sift the matcha powder (1 tbsp) into the cream cheese and beat until fluffy, a few minutes. Add in the white chocolate (2/3 cup) and egg (1), beat until mixture is well combined.

In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter (1/3 cup) over medium heat. Turn heat to low, add semi-sweet baking chocolate (1 cup) and stir until just melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar (1/2 cup).

Whisk in eggs (2), vanilla extract (1 tsp), sweet glutinous rice flour (1/2 cup), tapioca starch (1 tbsp), and salt (1/4 tsp), mix until well combined.

Portion about 3/4 of brownie batter into the prepared pan. Add the matcha cheesecake to the top of the brownie batter in an even layer.

Add the remaining 1/4 of the brownie batter to the top of the matcha cheesecake layer in tablespoon dollops. Use the tip of a paring knife to swirl the brownie batter and matcha cheesecake into a marbled pattern.

Bake the brownies on the center rack for 30 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Lift the brownies out of the pan by the parchment paper. Slice into 9 or 16 squares, depending on how large you want your slices.
