Description
A delicate, elegant dessert made from layers of paper-thin matcha crepes and lightly sweetened whipped cream. The earthy green tea flavor pairs beautifully with the creamy texture, making it a perfect centerpiece for special occasions or a luxurious treat for matcha lovers.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon matcha powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together matcha powder, flour, and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter.
3. Slowly add wet ingredients to the dry, whisking until smooth.
4. Strain the batter through a fine sieve and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and grease lightly.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirl to cover bottom, and cook 1–2 minutes.
7. Flip the crepe and cook an additional 30 seconds.
8. Transfer cooked crepes to a plate and let them cool.
9. In a cold bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until medium-stiff peaks form.
10. Place one crepe on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of whipped cream.
11. Repeat layering crepes and cream until all are used, ending with a crepe on top.
12. Chill the assembled cake for at least 2 hours before slicing.
13. Dust top with matcha powder and slice with a sharp knife to serve.
Notes
Straining the batter is essential for smooth, lump-free crepes.
Letting the crepes cool completely prevents the cream from melting.
Chilling the cake before slicing helps you get clean, defined layers.
