I haven’t had much time for cooking and baking these days because of Mio, but I recently tried making this green tea-ginger marshmallow shortbread that my best friend Debbie sent me the recipe for.
The bottom layer is shortbread and you create the matcha-flavored marshmallow top layer from scratch with egg whites, sugar, honey, and gelatin. I’d never made marshmallow from scratch before so it was an exciting undertaking! I don’t have a candy thermometer like the recipe calls for, so I couldn’t be as precise as I’d hoped to be… I ended up getting a very thin layer of green tea-flavored gelatin in between the marshmallow and shortbread layers, so I may have done something wrong, but it still tasted pretty good! 🙂
The candied ginger on top gives it a nice punch, and goes really well with the green tea flavor of this delectable treat!
Thank you Debbie for sharing this recipe with me!

I had actually made it a few days before posting the blog post, so by Sunday, it has been a week and I’d already thrown the leftovers out because they were going bad. I will have to make it for you sometime! 🙂
