Techniques / Process

To make the maze design, I did the following steps:

1. Made matcha pudding filling, let it cool down to room temp and filled my pre-baked tart shell

2. Then set the filling overnight

3. Using different sized cookie cutters, cut out circles

4. Then using a thin spatula/spoon, carved out alternating rings of pudding

5. With the carved out pudding, I cut small pieces to put back into the pie to create the maze design

6. Lastly, filling the gaps with a thin layer of key lime pie filling
