Ingredients
150g biscuits (I use malt biscuits), crushed
35g butter, melted
Sesame seeds
250g cream cheese

2 tablespoons lemon juice
100g plain yoghurt

Instructions
Mix biscuits and butter and press into base of a 24 cm round cake tin. Spread evenly and press with the palm of your hand. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and refrigerate to firm up.
Mix together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and yoghurt until smooth. Mix in whipped cream. Add dissolved gelatine and mix very gently.
Pour half mixture into cake tin over biscuit base. Spread with a rubber spatula and return to fridge.
Mix matcha powder with 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Pour into remaining half of cheesecake filling and mix well. Pour gently into the tin, keeping 1 tablespoon of filling mixture to use for decoration. Use rubber spatula to spread and make a flat surface.
Add 1/4 teaspoon extra matcha powder to the 1 tablespoon filling to darken it for decoration.
Use a teaspoon to draw lines on the cheesecake with the darker matcha mix. Use chopsticks to drag horizontal lines and make patterns, as shown in the picture. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
