How to Make Matcha Strawberry Cream Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until thoroughly mixed. This will be your crust, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking pan. You want it nice and compact here.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s smooth and creamy, think of that luscious texture, oh my!
- Now, add the matcha powder, lemon juice, and chopped strawberries. Mix until everything is well combined, so colorful!
- Pour that beautiful matcha cream cheese mixture over your crust, and use a spatula to spread it evenly. Make sure every bite has some strawberry goodness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until set. You want it firm but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Once out of the oven, allow them to cool at room temperature for a while, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing them into bars. Trust me, the chilling time really helps the flavors meld together beautifully!
- Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, delicious bite!
