Matchamisu = Matcha (Green Tea) Tiramisu

My baking guru, Queenie, came up with the name Matchamisu and the recipe. It’s utterly brilliant.

She took a classic Italian dessert, the tiramisu, and gave it a green tea spin by replacing espresspo with matcha green tea. Even better, they’re adorable since each one is a mini portion.
