Matcha Mousse Cake
A creamy vegan Matcha Mousse Cake with an airy, whipped texture flavored with the complex taste of Japanese matcha green tea powder. This time, as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I’m confident that this mousse cake will be ideal. The green color of this dessert represents the Irish holiday of St. Patrick’s Day. This mousse cake will be a blockbuster with Irish Folks. Everything about matcha excites me! Strangely, it isn’t in tea. But it’s fantastic in a sweet dessert! This dessert is soft, melt-in-your-mouth creamy, and absolutely delectable! It has the appearance of being something that would be served to royalty!
What Green Powder Used In This Cake?
Matcha is a stone-ground green tea used to flavor a variety of sweet and savory Japanese foods, is one of my all-time favorite flavors. This fine powder is made by grinding whole green tea leaves and is used in Japanese tea ceremonies to prepare and drink. The flavor can be described as green, earthy, grassy, and slightly bitter. It’s because of this complexity that I’m drawn to its distinct flavor.
But before we proceed to the recipe, have you ever tried to make your own matcha powder? Well, let me teach you. I think this will help you
