Directions:

1

In a medium non-reactive saucepan, combine the cream, green tea, and vanilla extract

2

Halve the vanilla beans and scrape the seeds into the cream

3

Add the scraped beans to the mixture and bring just to a boil over high heat

Chill a medium bowl

7

Strain the cream-tea mixture into the chilled bowl, and beat until stiff peaks form

8

In the top of a double boiler over barely shimmering water, combine the confectioners' sugar, egg yolks, and eggs, and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture forms a ribbon when the whisk is lifted from the pan, 12 to 15 minutes

9

Transfer to a mixer bowl and beat at high speed until lightened and pale in color, about 10 minutes

10

Fold in the whipped cream

11

Prepare a parchment paper collar to wrap around the outside of each ramekin

12

Generously pour the mixture into the ramekins and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours, and preferably overnight

13

Remove the parchment paper from the outside of each ramekin, surround each souffle with a marinated cherry, and serve

In a small saucepan, combine the sake, sugar, cherries, and water and bring to a boil over medium heat
