The Matcha Misu Square Pie combines the earthy depth of matcha with the creamy structure of a misu-style dessert, all held inside a distinctive black cocoa square pie shell. Visually, it is one of the strongest contrasts in the Kek & Crust Signature Square Pie collection: deep black pastry surrounding layers of soft green matcha cream, matcha-soaked ladyfinger and a smooth matcha ganache finish. A single piece of delicate gold leaf completes the top. The flavour is designed for customers who enjoy matcha in a richer dessert format rather than as a simple cream or sponge cake. It brings together bitterness, creaminess and cocoa notes while still maintaining the layered identity of our Square Pie range.
Inside the black cocoa shell, the first layer is matcha cream, creating a smooth green base for the filling. A matcha-soaked ladyfinger layer follows, giving the centre a soft sponge-like texture and carrying more matcha flavour deeper into the pie. Another layer of matcha cream sits above the ladyfinger, keeping the interior creamy and providing separation before the final matcha ganache. The surface is intentionally kept smooth and clean rather than heavily decorated. A single piece of gold leaf provides a minimal finish without distracting from the colour contrast between the matcha and black cocoa pastry. Every layer is clearly defined so that the pie retains the structured appearance that has become part of the Kek & Crust Square Pie identity.
Flavour-wise, Matcha Misu leans earthy and creamy with a controlled bitterness. The matcha appears in several components, but each contributes differently. Matcha cream is soft and mellow, the soaked ladyfinger absorbs the tea flavour while adding a tender texture, and the ganache provides a denser, richer matcha finish. The black cocoa shell introduces a darker cocoa note around the edges, preventing the dessert from tasting like one continuous layer of matcha cream. This contrast is particularly important because it allows the matcha to remain the focus without becoming monotonous. The result is more intense than a basic matcha tart while remaining smoother and more approachable than desserts built around very bitter ceremonial-style matcha.
Matcha Misu is a natural choice for matcha enthusiasts and customers who tend to prefer desserts with less overt fruitiness. The black-and-green presentation also makes it one of the most distinctive options for gifting or mixed flavour boxes. It pairs visually well with the brighter Mango Misu and Strawberry Misu while giving the Square Pie range a darker, more sophisticated flavour profile. Whether selected as an individual dessert or alongside other Kek & Crust pies, Matcha Misu offers a recognisable matcha experience presented through layered cream, soaked ladyfinger and crisp pastry.
