I am back after my longest hiatus in a while! I can’t even make any promises about how consistent future posts will be considering how occupied I have been these last couple of months. But I will try my best. I have been wanting to share this recipe with you for a while now as well as some more Fall themed ones. But I am not even ready for Fall though it is very much here. So before we delve into the pumpkin and more Fall-ish recipes, let’s begin with this Baked Matcha Mochi with a White Chocolate Ganache recipe.
I love almost anything mochi; ice cream, donuts, butter mochi, etc. Something about the chewy texture makes it so satisfying. I am also kind of obsessed with matcha and have been consuming my share of matcha flavored drinks and snacks this year. So I figured I should make matcha flavored mochi bars but be extra and add a while chocolate ganache. Well let me tell you, this combo works beautifully. So if you enjoy mochi, matcha and white chocolate, go grab the ingredients and make this recipe because you will love it.
