I'm back to blogging! It's been so long...oh have I missed blogging...
Due to my laptop getting infected with a bunch of viruses, I was unable to access my account. For 4 months. Yeah I know, I probably shouldn't have left the problem unresolved for THAT long...
Anyways, I am back, and have so many photos and materials that I gotta upload.
But first things first.
Today being St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to make something green and/or Irish. All I had was half a bottle of Irish Cream liquor...and I really wanted to make something using Guinness stout, but didn't have the time to go get some.
So what to make? I thought about chocolate Guinness Cupcakes with Irish Cream Frosting...but that's getting kinda cliche, I thought. Most bakeries and specialty cake shops deck their shelves with these anyway. I wanted something different. Something unique.
How about...a cream puff instead of a cupcake? Green cream puffs filled with Bailey's whipped cream? Wait, wait.... Matcha Green Tea Cream Puffs filled with Bailey's whipped cream!
That way, I can honor both my Japanese heritage and celebrate St. Patty's Day!
So behold...a Jap-Irish Dessert!
The cream puff shells didn't turn out as green as I wanted, but it tasted good, with earthy, grassy green tea flavor. Filled with whipped cream flavored with Bailey's, dusted with a mix of matcha green tea powder and powdered sugar. Yum!
