Description
A silky and vibrant matcha green tea panna cotta, inspired by Japanese flavors. This dessert is surprisingly easy to make and offers a delightful, subtly sweet, and earthy taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, sugar, and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Whisk in the matcha green tea powder until fully dissolved and no clumps remain.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and whisk until it is completely dissolved.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or directly into individual serving glasses or ramekins.
- Let cool slightly at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, ensure the matcha powder is fully dissolved.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your preference for a stronger or milder green tea flavor.
- Serve chilled, perhaps with a dusting of matcha powder or fresh berries.
