Mini Strawberry Donuts with Matcha Coconut Cream
I wanted to combine flavours that spoke to the ending of summer and the start of fall. To me, strawberries symbolize the epitome of those last stretches of summer heat. The fullness, ripeness, and deepness of their colour are all situated in my brain memories beside summer and August. Matcha on the other hand makes me think of earthy, moist soil and the turning of the leaves. The two together are a celebration – a farewell and a greeting all at once. I hope you can feel all of these feels along with me as you take your first bite, and welcome fall into our minds, homes, and tastes!
