Matcha Maiden Panna Cotta Recipe by Chef Patron Mauro Callegari

By Matcha Maiden
An incredible recipe by an incredible chef using our organic green powder aka the best green tea powder in Australia (we think).

For those who are new to our Matcha Maiden family, or have many of our most recent matcha-updates, we were lucky enough to be 1 of 5 business chosen to be a part of Chobani Australia’s FIRST EVER cohort for their brand new Incubator Program.

Due to it’s success in the U.S., the Chobani team decided to bring it to Australia and share the love and knowledge here. We were SO honoured to be chosen from 100 or so businesses to be a part of the 4 month long intensive program, alongside our new-found friends at Kooee Snacks, Bake Mixes, Mingle Seasoning and 99th Monkey. (We’ll describe our experience in more detail in another blog post!) In the 3rd intensive week with Chobani, we were lucky enough to have had the incredible Chef Mauro, Chef-Patron of The Independent Gembrook, turn our organic green powder into a magical matcha panna cotta dessert! Not only is Chef Mauro the chef-patron of his Argentinian influenced restaurant, but he has worked with some of the biggest names such as Grill’d and Schnitz in developing their recipes and menu items. So, being able to put the best organic tea in Australia, in the hands of one of the most amazing chefs we’ve met, was a matcha made in heaven!

Chef Mauro has kindly shared his recipe with us, and our extended matcha maiden family!
