Matcha Green tea leaves are grown and plucked in a different way than regular green tea leaves and are used widely in Japanese meals. Matcha has a softer, earthier flavour and has substantially more caffeine than normal green tea.
If you use matcha in a dessert or any other dish, it will impart a bright green colour, adding to the visual appeal. No wonder matcha desserts are ruling all over your Instagram.
Matcha green tea cookies
Relax in the evenings with a hot cup of your favourite beverage and one of these chewy matcha green tea cookies. The matcha in the cookies tastes fantastic and gives them a beautiful green colour. These cookies are fantastic with or without the white chocolate chips, but it is advised since the sweetness of the chocolate will balance out the matcha's moderate bitterness, making the overall taste even better.
Matcha pound cake
Anytime is a good time to have a delicious, crumbly pound cake. The buttery flavours and smooth texture provide a flavour explosion with each bite. Furthermore, the brilliant green colour is really pleasing to the eye. For the ideal experience, serve with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream and some fresh berries.
Matcha fudge
This green, chewy matcha fudge is extremely easy to make and tastes delicious. You can either share it with your pals or keep it to yourself. We're not going to judge, promise.
Only five ingredients are required for this recipe: condensed milk, vanilla extract, white chocolate, salt, and, of course, matcha powder. The creamy richness of the milk and the sweetness of the vanilla wonderfully balance out the bitterness of the matcha, resulting in the ultimate flavoured fudge.
Matcha cheesecakes
Place the green matcha cheesecake mixture on top of an Oreo cookie crust and chill for a few minutes before topping with the biggest, most delicious white chocolate-covered strawberry you can find and a generous pour of chocolate ganache once they've set.
Matcha truffles

The truffles are filled with delectable white chocolate and matcha ganache, with an amazing green covering of matcha powder and dried raspberries on the outside. They look incredible, and they taste even better.
Matcha ice cream
It's really easy to prepare at home, as it only requires four ingredients.

It's actually that easy.
