Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons gelatin (powdered or 1 sheet)
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep the Gelatin: If using powdered gelatin, sprinkle it over cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. If using sheet gelatin, soak it in cold water for the same duration.
- Heat the Cream and Milk: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat gently over low-medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add Matcha: Whisk in the matcha powder until fully blended, using a fine sieve to strain any lumps.
- Incorporate the Gelatin: Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
- Flavor It: Add the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the mixture into serving cups and let cool before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh berries, honey, or toasted nuts before serving.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk; for a vegan option, use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
