Matcha

From skincare to fashion to food, matcha is everywhere. Truly cementing its status in the world, matcha is no longer just a drink; it is an aesthetic. Quickly turning more into a movement than its humble beginnings as tea, matcha is that girl. 

So, if you are not a fashion or makeup girlie, do not worry, you can still jump on this trend in a more traditional way, through food. Here are five matcha dessert recipes that will satiate that matcha madness. 

Matcha & Strawberry Pastries

This technical dessert delight will be worth all the time and effort you put into it. From the flaky pastry to the light and addictive matcha pastry cream to the tangy strawberry compote, this dessert is so well balanced and delicious that you may find yourself wondering if you should open a bakery. 

Matcha Ice Cream 

This is the kind of dessert that screams summer, and not for the reason you are thinking. Picture yourself in your kitchen in the dead of night, surrounding your bowl of cream, and taking turns with your friends to whisk it into ice cream. Between the giggling and the sneaky bites, this dessert is both fun to make and the type you would always want a pint of in your freezer, just in case. 

Matcha Mochi Brownies

Sitting comfortably on the delicious avenue of chaotic and traditional, these brownies let both the aromatic nature of matcha and the light nature of mochi shine. With their unique texture and addictive taste, do not be surprised if you find yourself making more than one batch in a go. 

Matcha Lava Toast

Pinterest certified, delicious and easy to make, this is not your average French toast. Both crispy and creamy, this lava toast is the star of the show and will have you torn between clicking pictures and swallowing the plate whole.

Matcha Basque Burnt Cheesecake

Cheesecake has always been that girl, so this dessert combination was a surprise to no one. Smooth, creamy and perfectly balanced, this dessert is decadent and addictive in the best way possible. Ideal for all those who prefer their desserts as simple as possible, you cannot go wrong with a slice or three.

So, while others wear or drink their matcha, you can eat it with these desserts.
