How to make Green Tea Zebra Cheesecake

• 1

  Whip the cream cheese mixture

  Blend 300gr of cream cheese until smooth, then add 75gr of sugar, 50gr of unsweetened yogurt, 6ml of lemon juice, 2ml of vanilla extract, melted gelatin, and continue to mix well.

  Next, whip 180ml of whipping cream until soft peaks form, about 50% – 60%. Then, add it to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.

  Tip: Whipped cream at about 60% will be slightly thick, creating swirls but not very defined and cannot hold a stiff peak.

  Tip for quick whipping cream: Before whipping, refrigerate the cream for 15 minutes or place the bowl of cream in an ice bath, then whip the cream.

  Pouring the mold

  First, pour a thin layer of brown batter into the cake mold. Then pour an additional layer of green so that it spreads evenly in a circle with a smaller size than the original.

  Next, pour in another layer of white batter. Continue layering the colors like this until all the prepared batter is used up.

  Finally, place the cake in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
