Matcha Desserts: Ice Creams, Custards, Cakes

You want to finish a meal with matcha but can't decide between a cream, an ice cream, and a cake. The matcha desserts here have different textures and chilling times. For every category, our matcha recipe collection also includes drinks and savory dishes.

First, choose the texture and when you'll serve it. A spoonable cream is made differently from ice cream that needs to set; whipped cream tops a dessert without replacing one on its own.
