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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2-3 hours or until fully chilled and set.

Step 8

Serve chilled, optionally with a dusting of matcha powder or a dollop of whipped cream on top for garnish.
