Today I am joining Sunday Supper for a special event, the #Cookielicious Exchange Party! With Thanksgiving now over, it is time to turn the focus to Christmas and holiday baking.

Matcha Kanten and Strawberry Parfait
Matcha Kanten is a Japanese green tea jello. It uses Agar-Agar, or Kanten, as a thickener instead of the animal-based product, gelatin. I paired the Match Kanten cubes with sliced strawberries and a cheesecake parfait for a light and refreshing dessert. Instead of the cheesecake filling, you can also use vanilla ice cream like the…

Matcha Aisu (Green Tea Ice Cream)
Matcha Aisu (Matcha Ice, Matcha Aisu Kuriimu, Green Tea Ice Cream) is a Japanese ice cream flavored with Matcha, powdered green tea.

Matcha Pound Cake
Matcha Pound Cake is definitely not a traditional St. Patrick’s Day recipe, but the addition of matcha (green tea powder) to the cake creates a natural green coloring perfect to celebrate the day. I wrote a bit about matcha and where to find it in my Green Tea Muffin post. I think Chad is finally…
