You’re likely looking for a
Strawberry Matcha Choux au Craquelin or Strawberry Matcha Cream Puffs. This is a delightful variation of the classic choux pastry, combining the earthy notes of matcha with the sweet and fruity flavor of strawberries.
Here’s how this dessert typically incorporates strawberry and matcha:
- Matcha Cream: The choux bun is filled with a creamy, often diplomat or pastry cream, infused with matcha powder, giving it a distinctive green color and an earthy, slightly bitter flavor.
- Strawberry Element: This can take several forms, including:
- Strawberry Compote or Puree: A sweet and tangy strawberry compote or puree layered within the matcha cream or placed on top.
- Fresh Strawberries: Slices of fresh strawberries might be used as a garnish or incorporated into the filling for bursts of fresh fruit flavor.
- Strawberry Craquelin: The crispy craquelin topping could also be flavored with freeze-dried strawberry powder to add a subtle strawberry note to the crunch
