Our friend Fay from @bentographer shares another delicious and creative dessert recipe, featuring our ceremonial Otome Matcha.
“My favorite treats always contain contrasts in texture and flavor, like a sprinkle of sea salt on a sweet cookie (with nuts, of course!), or a crispy, flaky pastry filled with rich custard. I love the creamy smoothness of panna cotta, but I have a hard time committing to a dessert that is just soft with no crust or crunch or cake, and with one uniform flavor.
My solution is to combine what would be essentially two separate desserts into one even better creation. A buttery, tender matcha shortbread is paired with a smooth and creamy strawberry panna cotta, inspired by the classic lemon bar. The slightly bitter grassiness of the matcha is balanced perfectly by the fruity sweetness of the strawberry. With every bite, the initial softness of the panna cotta gives way to the tender bite of the shortbread. Two great things that go great together.”
