Tips for an even better matcha dessert:

Adding vanilla will create a softer taste
Coconut milk will create a creamier texture
Pieces of white vegan chocolate are also excellent
You can also use ceremonial or signature matcha

Can I use a different matcha?

If you're looking for matcha for baking or desserts, we recommend Matchavia Signature. It has a more pronounced flavor profile than ceremonial matcha, so it can be tasted even in recipes with whipped cream or milk. Therefore, a smaller amount of powder is often sufficient per serving than when preparing Japanese matcha.

Why does matcha work in frozen recipes?

In recipes with cream, milk, vegan whipped cream, or mascarpone, the aromatic compounds from matcha bind to fat. The result is a smoother and creamier taste than in water.
