COOKIE CRUST

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees（烤箱預熱至175 度Ｃ）. Butter the sides of 4 4-inch springform pans. （模具底部與周圍塗上奶油）Wrap exterior of pans (including base) in a layer of foil.

2. Process animal crackers in food processor until fine. Add butter, sugar, and salt; pulse until combined, add sesame seeds and stir to combine. （用食物調理機打碎餅乾，加入融化的奶油、糖、鹽，攪拌均勻）Divide mixture evenly among pans and pat into an even layer using the bottom of a measuring cup. （鋪在模具底部，壓緊實）Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is firm to the touch and deeply golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool completely.（烤 15-18 分鐘，取出完全放涼）

CHEESECAKE FILLING

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.（用攪拌機，槳狀配件，中速打勻 cream cheese，約 2-3 分鐘）

2. In a small bowl, whisk sugar and flour to combine. （在另一小碗中，用打蛋器混合糖及麵粉）Reduce mixer speed to low, gradually add sugar mixture to cream cheese（攪拌機速度降至低速，慢慢的加入糖及麵粉混合物於 cream cheese 中）; mix until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla and almond extract（加入酸奶、香草精、杏仁精）; mix until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time（一次加入一個蛋）, beating until just combined.

3. Divide cream cheese filling into 2 bowls（將起司餡料分成兩半）. Add matcha powder to one and black sesame powder to the other（一個加入抹茶粉，一個加入黑芝麻粉）. Stir gently to combine, do not to over mix. Divide sesame-cream cheese mixture evenly among the pans with crust, follow by matcha -cream cheese filling. Set pans inside a roasting pans. Carefully ladle boiling water into roasting pan, halfway up sides of springform pans.（熱水入，水浴法）

4. Bake until cakes are set but still slightly wobbly in the center, 15 to 20 minutes（約烤 15-20 分鐘）. Turn off oven; leave cakes in oven with the door slightly ajar, 45 minutes（關掉烤箱，將烤箱門微開，蛋糕留在烤箱中約 45分鐘）. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cakes cool completely. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight.（之後把蛋糕移至烤架上，完全放涼後，不要蓋任何東西，直接把含模具的蛋糕放入冰箱冷藏最少 4 小時）

5. Release cakes from spring form, dust top with matcha powder before serving.（享用前可撒上抹茶粉）
