Matcha Keroppi Macarons

The last week of this famous cities collaboration with Taryn @life_and_sprinkles and Rebecca @rosesandwhiskers takes me to one of my favourite cities, Tokyo. Japan is one of the most amazing countries I've had the pleasure of visiting, twice.  I have only been able to explore Tokyo but would love to see the rest of Japan one day.  There's so much culture, both new and old.  The people are so friendly and the food is amazing. I decided to make something matcha flavoured as Tokyo is very well known for their green tea.  Not to forget that the Japanese love cute things too.  I incorporated the matcha flavour and cuteness into Keroppi macarons. These Matcha Keroppi Macarons are not only cute but they are filled with a matcha flavoured white chocolate ganache.  They will definitely become a favourite with it's cuteness. I hope you get a chance to visit Tokyo one day too. Happy Baking xo Matcha Keroppi Macarons Ingredients · 75 grams almond...
