Green Tea Cheesecake @ 3:59 PM
Cheesecake is one of my favourite recipes. I like it because it's very presentable in all occasions. Bithday parties, christmas parties and just family dinner. It's really easy to make and everyone love cheesecakes anyways. You can even match it with a nice ice wine too. Here is one of my favourite recipe of cheesecake. It's a mix of a little japanese flavour into what people think "fattening" because cheese is fattening. But green tea is something special. It has been known for effectively lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood cots*. So why miss out some great desserts? Hope you enjoy this recipe. :)
