Procedure

13645329_1726085930949738_1283040969498962539_n
1. Pour whipping cream into a heat-proof bowl and microwave on high for about 30 seconds or until the whipping cream boils slightly. Remove from heat and add white chocolate and green tea powder. Stir until melted.
2. If the mixture is not completely melted, microwave for 15 seconds at a time or until the mixture is fully melted. Let it cool. When cool, refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

3. When the mixture is cool and firm enough to be molded, take it out and mold it into balls (the truffles will not be very round, don’t worry about it) and mix with the green tea powder again.

Arrange them on a beautiful plate and eat them with hot tea. They go together very well. However, truffles are a dessert that should be eaten while they are still cold. If you are not going to eat them, do not mix them with green tea powder because the moisture in the dessert may make the green tea powder look unappetizing. I recommend mixing them with green tea powder when you are going to eat them. It will look more appetizing. See you next time ^^

13620953_1723109361247395_5207268051118111725_n

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.

13631625_1723109371247394_2162419518012707637_n

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 ^^

Matcha Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

Hello, after posting the “Matcha Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries” menu a few days ago, many friends were interested. Today, I would like to share a recipe for a cute menu that anyone can make. This menu is called Matcha Chocolate Dipped Strawberries in Thai. It is an easy dessert that I would like to recommend. Let’s see the ingredients and how to make it. ^^

2

Key Ingredients

  1. 8-10 strawberries (freeze for at least 3 hours)
  2. White chocolate 200 grams
  3. 1 tablespoon MATCHAZUKI medium grade matcha powder (for mixing with white chocolate)
  4. 1 tablespoon MATCHAZUKI medium grade matcha powder (for sprinkling on top of desserts)
  5. 5 grams of butter

Procedure

  1. Place white chocolate in a microwavable bowl and heat for 30 seconds. When you remove it, you will notice that some of the chocolate has melted. Stir to distribute heat evenly, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir again.3
  2. Add butter to the melted white chocolate and mix until well blended. Once the butter has melted into the chocolate, add the green tea powder and mix again.4 5
  3. Remove the stem from the frozen strawberries and insert a skewer into the stalk instead, but not too deep. Dip the strawberries in the matcha chocolate. (Note: Freezing the strawberries will make them easier to dip and the matcha chocolate will harden faster.)6
  4. When the chocolate starts to harden, add the prepared green tea powder to a sieve and sift it to coat the strawberries that we have dipped in again to increase the intensity of the green tea flavor and make it look more beautiful and delicious.7
  5. Arrange on a beautiful plate. You can sprinkle matcha powder on the plate to make it look more beautiful and appetizing. If you want to cut the strawberries to show their beauty, we recommend that you dip the knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting. The matcha chocolate will not break. Or if you are going to give it as a gift, we recommend that after putting it in a box and tying it with a beautiful bow, put dry ice in a small box again because the chocolate should be in a cool place where it will be harder to melt.8

How to brew thin Usucha green tea

matcha

วิธีการชงชาเขียว

หมายเหตุ วิธีการตามนี้จะไม่ใช่วิธีการชงตามพิธีชงชาของญี่ปุ่น

อุปกรณ์ที่ต้องมี (ตามรูปด้านล่าง)

1. Matcha-chawan (抹茶碗) ถ้วยสำหรับชงชา

2. Chasen (茶筅) เป็นไม้ไผ่ใช้สำหรับบดผงชาเขียวไม่ให้จับตัวเป็นก้อน

3. Chashaku (茶杓) เป็นไม้ไผ่ที่ใช้สำหรับตักผงชาเขียว

SONY DSC

วัตถุดิบ

1. Uji Matcha: Excellent ตักด้วย Chashaku 1 ช้อนครึ่ง (ประมาณ 1 ช้อนชา)

2. น้ำร้อนประมาณ 80C ปริมาตร 60 ml

ขั้นตอนการชง

1. ตักผงชามัทฉะใส่ในถ้วย

2. ค่อยๆเทน้ำร้อนตามลงไปบนผงมัทฉะ

3. ใช้ Chasen “ปัด” ให้ผงมัทฉะแตกตัวเข้ากับน้ำ โดยให้ทิศทางการปัดไปทางด้านหน้าสลับกับด้านหลัง จนไม่พบผงมัทฉะจับตัวเป็นก้อน (จะเห็นเป็นฟองสีเขียวละเอียดลอยอยู่ด้านบน)

4. เสิร์ฟในถ้วยชงชาได้เลย

วิธีการต้มน้ำให้ร้อนประมาณ 80C

1. ต้มน้ำจนเดือดที่อุณหภูมิ 100C

2. เทใส่ภาชนะ (เช่นถ้วยชา) ที่เตรียมไว้ อุณหภูมิน้ำจะลดลงมาประมาณ 10C

3. จากนั้นค่อยเทลงไปบนผงชามัทฉะตามขั้นตอนที่ 2 ก็จะได้น้ำร้อนอุณหภูมิประมาณ 80C พอดี

Tip: ผง มัทฉะนั้นจริงๆไม่ได้ละลายน้ำแต่จะแขวนลอยอยู่ในน้ำร้อน ดังนั้นเราจึงควรดื่มทันทีในระหว่างที่ผงมัทฉะยังแขวนลอยอยู่ก่อนที่จะตก ตะกอนลงไปด้านล่าง
