Merry Matcha Munchies

If you're looking for a unique flavor to use on your desserts, I suggest trying Matcha. Matcha, or green tea powder, will not only give your sweets a hint of Japanese tea flavor, but also give them a festive green color so you don't have to use food dye!

My dance team has macaron fundraisers every semester and the green tea ones are always the most popular. So last week for Christmas, I decided to make them on my own. Let's just say that they didn't turn out to be perfectly pretty patties. 

In my opinion, macarons are way too complicated to make and I probably won't ever attempt to make them alone again. But you know what's 10 times easier? Cheesecake! I found a matcha mini cheesecake recipe, though I simplified it by using Keebler Ready Pie Crusts.  

Now that I have all this matcha powder, I have to find more recipes!
