Hello everyone, back to our regular Friday meeting. Today, the MATCHAZUKI page, premium grade matcha powder from Japan, would like to recommend another popular dessert recipe that cheese lovers shouldn’t miss. That is Matcha Cheese Tart, which is sweet, creamy, and full of cheese flavor and intense green tea flavor. Eat it while it’s hot, it feels like eating cheese lava, or eat it in the evening, it has a chewy texture like cheesecake. Let’s take a look at the ingredients and how to make it. ^^
Key Ingredients
Tart section
1. 100 grams of all-purpose flour
2. Butter 60 grams
3. Icing sugar 25 grams
4. Salt 4 grams
5. Half an egg (Beat the egg and use only half)
6. Baking tray as desired and rolling pin
Matcha Cheese Custard Part
1. Cream cheese 150 grams
2. Mascarpone cheese 70 grams
3. 30 grams of butter
4. Fresh milk 90 grams
5. 30 grams of icing sugar (you can add more if you like it sweeter)
6. Cornstarch 10 grams
7. 1 ½ tablespoons of medium grade Matchazuki matcha powder
8. 1 chicken egg
9. ½ tablespoon lemon juice
10. 1 teaspoon of salt
Procedure
Tart section
1. Sift flour into a mixing bowl, then add slightly softened butter and mix until well combined. Add icing sugar and salt, then add egg and knead until well combined. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until butter sets, about 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Remove dough from refrigerator, roll dough to about 3 mm thick and line mold as desired. Poke small holes in mold with fork. Bake in oven for about 15-20 minutes or until tart is golden brown.
Matcha Cheese Custard Part
1. Place the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, butter, and half of the milk in a heatproof container (such as a small saucepan or stainless steel bowl). Stir to combine. Bring a larger saucepan of water to a boil over medium heat. Place the container of cheese over the saucepan (double boiler technique) and stir until the mixture is hot and starts to liquefy.
2. Add icing sugar, matcha powder, cornstarch to the remaining milk, mix well and pour into the first mixture. Mix well.
3. Add beaten eggs, salt and lemon juice. Stir constantly to prevent lumps. Stir until mixture thickens and no longer runs from spatula. Cool. Transfer to a piping bag.
4. Squeeze the mixture into the prepared tart shells. Bake at 180 degrees for 10 minutes (if the mold is large, it takes longer) or until the custard surface is firm and dry and does not stick to the fingers.
Matcha Cheese Tart is a dessert that can be eaten both hot and cold. If eaten hot, the custard will be oozing and flowing like lava. But if you put it in the refrigerator, the texture will be as thick as eating cheesecake. It gives a different feeling. Whoever likes which one, choose it as you like. And don’t forget to tell me which one you like more ^^
