At
the end of the year I had to try making some sweet things with Matcha because I
liked to make them for silvester when my friends from Berlin would be staying at my place. So
in preparation for some sweets I started with making Matcha Syrup. With
its poison green colour it looks rather like a witches’ brew but this sweet
syrup is really useful to create sweets with the taste of Matcha. It’s sugar
water in which you sift some Matcha powder. After enough stiring it becomes a
homogenous liquid.

My
first try using the syrup was in a Matcha version of rice pudding. I
added a few soup spoons of syrup to the milk and rice mixture and also a bit
Matcha powder to strengthen the Matcha taste. It worked really well, it was
sweet and you could tasted the Matcha in it, but I would have had to use more
powder to intense the colour, so my version didn’t look much like Matcha ^^;
(that’s why I haven’t taken a picture)
But
my real intention was to make a real Matcha dessert. So first I tried out a
Matcha cream. I used regular quark, eggs, Matcha syrup and powder and stired a
smooth cream out of it. After a few hours in the fridge it had became a real
good Matcha mousse. (and this time I had forgotten to take a picture
>.<)
It
was really delicious but it wasn’t proper for my idea of a layer dessert. For
that it was too soft.
Finally
I tried to make a Matcha Tiramisu. I was inspired by this recipe. But
because I can’t eat cereals, I replaced the wheat flour with a combination of
rice and corn flour (so I had to take the double amount). The Matcha Bisquit
came out really good!
The
Tiramisu cream was also pretty well and it became stiff enough to hold the
bisquit layers. In the end it became more bisquit than cream so it was more
like a cake but nevertheless it was really delicious! My friends and I liked it
very much ^__^

It doesn't look pretty good (like always -_-) but I think it's okay for the first try.
My next ideas for Matcha sweets coming soon ^.~
