🌿 What Is Matcha Pudding?
Matcha pudding is a Japanese-inspired take on classic milk-based custard. Infused with finely stone-ground green tea, it offers a creamy body, herbal aroma, and vibrant green hue.
Unlike gelatin-heavy versions, this recipe uses milk and cornstarch for a custard-style consistency that melts in your mouth.
🧾 Ingredients (serves 4)
- 400ml whole milk (or oat/soy milk)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp Leafmill ceremonial-grade matcha powder (sifted)
- 60g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, red bean paste, chopped fruit, granola
👩🍳 How to Make Matcha Pudding
1. Mix dry ingredients
In a saucepan (off heat), whisk together cornstarch, sugar, salt, and sifted matcha powder.
2. Add milk
Gradually add milk while whisking until smooth and lump-free.
3. Cook until thick
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a custard consistency (around 5–7 minutes).
4. Finish and chill
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour into serving glasses or ramekins. Let cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
5. Serve
Top with whipped cream, red bean paste, or a dusting of matcha powder before serving.
