Enjoy your matcha pudding!
- 7g (0.25 oz) matcha powder
- 40g (1.4 oz) sugar
- 4g (0.14 oz) gelatine powder
- 2 tbsp water (for soaking gelatine)
- 150ml (5.1 fl oz) milk
- 120g (4.2 oz) thickened cream or heavy cream (35% fat)
- Whipped cream (Chantilly cream)
- Boiled azuki bean paste
- Mint leaves for garnish
- Soak the gelatine powder in 2 tablespoons of water. Once soaked, microwave for 15-20 seconds to melt.
- In a jar (at least 350ml/11.8 fl oz capacity), combine sugar and matcha powder. Sift the matcha into the jar and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
- Add about Ā¼ of the milk to the jar and mix vigorously until smooth.
- Stir in the melted gelatine, then add the remaining milk and cream. Mix well to ensure the matcha is fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture through a sieve into serving glasses or cups.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
- Top each pudding with a heaping tablespoon of whipped cream.
- Add a heaping teaspoon of boiled azuki bean paste next to the cream.
- Garnish with mint leaves.
- Use any matcha powder you like. If itās coarse, you might see small green bits in the pudding.
- Full cream milk is preferred, but light milk works too.
- Adjust toppings to your taste for sweetness and flavor.
- Boiled azuki bean paste is available in cans at Asian grocery stores and is less sweet than anko.
- To avoid matcha clumps, scrape the sides of the jar while mixing.
- This recipe makes about 300ml (10.1 fl oz) of pudding, enough for 2-3 servings.
- Store leftovers in the fridge, but add toppings just before serving.
Enjoy your matcha pudding!
