Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Matcha green tea powder
- 2.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the matcha green tea powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth paste. Ensure there are no lumps. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the mixture has thickened slightly, reduce the heat to low and stir in the matcha paste and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pudding is thick and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
Let the pudding cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then cover the bowls with plastic wrap (make sure the plastic touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming).
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2-3 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Serve chilled, optionally with a dusting of matcha powder or a dollop of whipped cream on top for garnish.
