Chocolate and green tea is a surprisingly good flavor combination. This recipe can be a little tricky, but worth it in the end.
ingredients:
chocolate cupcakes (recipe, here)
green tea ice cream (recipe, here)
chocolate frosting (recipe here)
Bake the cupcakes but only fill them about halfway so that they gave some room at the top for the ice cream. Let the cupcakes cool and then pop them in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
Take the cupcakes out and scoop the green tea ice cream on top, sort of in a mounded shape. After you top the cakes with ice cream, pop them BACK in the freezer. Ice cream melts fast, so you have to work quickly.
One more time, take the cupcakes out (one at a time is easier) and frost them with the chocolate frosting ON TOP the ice cream. Put them BACK in the freezer until you are ready to serve!
The result made a beautiful cross section when you cut into it, and the flavor combo? Just perfect.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
I had green tea truffles once, they were amazing, so I’m not surprised this combo tasted great. It reminds me of a mini-bake alaska, except with frosting instead of meringue, and no torching of said meringue.
OMG. I cannot find Haagen Daz green tea ice cream anywhere. I can usually get green tea ice cream at Kotobukiya though. I swear I am an addict. As if I wasn’t already a chocolate and strawberry addict. I need help. LOL. These look oh my god delicious.
I’d also like to thank you for getting back to me privately about Doraemon.
Make your own!! You have to make your own green tea ice cream, you will never go back. I will post my recipe soon.. When I have the time.
