Baked Green Tea & Red Bean Cheesecake

I've mentioned before I wasn't a big fan of green tea for sweets & cakes.

I've changed since the trip to Paris last year & I've tried 'Bamboo' the green tea entremet from Sadaharu Aoki.

It has been a while since then that I made anything of green tea flavour.

Simply because I have a long baking list & as a chocoholic, most of them are chocolate.

Matcha Mont Blanc

I wanted to join the Matcha Madness held by Catty, so I made these Matcha Mont Blanc.

Matcha Mont Blanc is the one I always like to try, I have to say I need more practice with my icing kit as I made a mess with the chestnut puree.

I realised my family don't fancy matcha flavoured desserts after I made these.

Although we drink green tea every day, I think we prefer matcha for beverage only.

It's rich in chestnut & azuki bean flavour, & also a subtle sense of matcha blended nicely with chestnut.

Tofu Cheesecake with Red Bean Jelly

My exam is finally over, the most distressful moment has gone.

I'm back and hoping to update the blog more frequently.

I treated myself a piece of tofu cheesecake with red (Azuki) bean jelly.

I have used the same recipe for the tofu cheesecake, only a small twist to make it more interesting.

I used tinned sweetened red beans which I bought from a Japanese store.

Of course, any flavour will go with the tofu cheesecake, I even tried with lychee jelly.

However, light favour is recommended as tofu aroma is very delicate.
