Tips for the Matcha Yuzu Cheesecake Recipe
For the cookie bases, I use Gerblé brand yuzu cookies. You can totally use classic cookies or even Brittany palets!
The temperature of the hot water used for the gelatin varies according to the manufacturer, so please check and follow the method of use. If the gelatin is boiled, the coagulation rate will decrease and it will be difficult to make it solidify, so be careful not to boil it.
