Request from a Matcha Lover

A friend of my wife ( let's call her Doris) ordered a matcha cheesecake for a daughter who came back from London for holidays. She missed matcha and green color a lot, and wanted something tasty.

The challenging part was the fact that Doris does not like texture of mousse, she's more into dense and crunchy. Her daughter was up with anything as long as it was strong in matcha. So I used my classic recipe of a cheesecake that I flavored with lots of matcha and I topped with a somewhat denser/less airy white chocolate & matcha mousse. To finish up I added a layer of matcha flavored white chocolate.

A note on the pictures: the colors seemed to vary a bit from one pic to another. That's mainly due to the angle and luminosity at which they were taken.
