Matcha latte

Tried making my own matcha latte:) Now, there's no need to spend $7 on Starbucks or some matcha shop to get a decent matcha latte:D

Best thing: I only used magnolia milk, matcha powder and condensed milk! All the ingredients are readily available at home, so from the convenience of my home I can have my cuppa^^

The best smoothie I've made so far:) Happy how it turned out to be of a thick milky consistency with no taste of avocado:) Now I can make matcha milkshake at home with low costs and low fats! :P

Love this mix and how fuss-free it is. Sweet pink treat to end off Monday blues

Happy Father's Day: Matchamisu success!

Happy Father's Day to my beloved personal chauffeur, insect-catcher and kopi kaki:)

Since I dont know what my father wants, I decided to make something special for the special dad-- Matchamisu. It's totally self-improvised and I didnt follow any recipe hahaha. I'm glad it turned out fine and my family enjoyed it:) Here's some snapshots of my proud creation and recipe:

Decorated with marshmallows and chocolate chips

Layers of mascarpone cheese, matcha-soaked ladyfingers and azuki beans

Recipe for Matchamisu (serves 5)
500g Mascarpone cheese
12 ladyfingers (the biscuits, not the plant:P)
2 heaped tablespoons of sugar (to taste)
1 teaspoonful of vanilla essence (to taste)
Boiling water 
3 heaped teaspoon of matcha powder
1 can of azuki beans
Marshmallows and chocolate chips

1. Mix mascarpone cheese, vanilla essence and sugar together until well combined 
2. Prepare matcha liquid by adding matcha powder into around 200ml of boiling water in a wide bowl
3. Dip ladyfingers into the matcha liquid by coating it in the liquid on both sides, then lay as the base in the baking tin (don't soak it too long as it'll disintegrate)
4. Spread a layer of mascarpone mixture over it
5. Spread a layer of azuki bean over it
6. Alternate with layers of ladyfingers, mascarpone and azuki bean.
7. End off with a layer of mascarpone cheese (make sure it is not too thick) and dust with green tea powder/cocoa powder. 
8. Decorate as desired
9. Chill for at least 12 hours before serving.

*The proportions above are what I used. Depending on your tastebuds, you may want to add in more sugar/matcha or experiment with different ingredients:)
**As it is a chilled non-bake recipe, it is quite tricky getting the tiramisu out of the tin. One good way will be to scoop it out using a spatula:)

Preparation for Father's Day Present:)

Green Tea Azuki Bean Tiramisu

Made green tea azuki bean tiramisu as Father's Day present:) I totally didn't follow any recipe and all the ingredients and proportions were self-improvised. Hopefully it turns out fine and that he'll like it:) Can't wait for the tasting session tomorrow! ^^
