What is Matcha?

Matcha is a finely ground, bright green tea powder that plays a central role in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Its origins date back hundreds of years and its popularity has spread worldwide.

Matcha is known for its rich, slightly bitter flavour and its numerous health benefits. The secret to a perfect Matcha pudding lies in the quality of the Matcha powder. Make sure to use a high-quality powder that gives your dessert a vibrant green colour and an intense flavour:

Make your own Matcha pudding:

Matcha pudding is a wonderful dessert for any season. In summer, it offers a refreshing, cool treat, whilst in winter it captivates with its vibrant colour and rich flavour.

The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. You don’t need any special kitchen equipment, and the ingredients are easy to source.

For our Matcha pudding, we need:

Milk
Sugar
High-quality Matcha powder (im Shop ansehen)
Gelatine leaves
Anko (sweet red bean paste, to the recipe)

Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water. In a saucepan, heat the milk, sugar and Matcha powder over a medium heat until the sugar and Matcha powder have completely dissolved. Squeeze out the gelatine leaves and dissolve them in the warm matcha milk. Pour the mixture into pudding moulds and leave to set in the fridge for about 2 hours.

Prepare the Matcha cream for the pudding

Shortly before the end of the chilling time, we prepare the Matcha cream: For this, we will also need:

Cream
Icing sugar
Vanilla sugar
Matcha powder

In a bowl, whip the cream with icing sugar, vanilla sugar and Matcha powder until stiff. The cream should be light and fluffy and an even green colour. Serve the set pudding with the fluffy Matcha cream. And that’s it…!

Matcha pudding is not only a dessert in its own right, but can also be a highlight in a comprehensive Japanese menu. Serve the Matcha pudding alongside other popular Japanese sweets such as Mochi (rice cakes) or dorayaki (pancakes with red bean paste). This combination offers a range of textures and flavours.

Matcha pudding is a versatile dessert that blends harmoniously into various Japanese menus. Whether as a light finish to a hearty meal or as part of a fine dining menu, it adds a special touch to the dining experience. Be inspired by the versatility of Matcha pudding and create unforgettable menus that reflect the flavours of Japan.

Our Matcha pudding with matcha cream is a simple yet impressive dessert that brings the traditional flavours of Japan to life in your kitchen. The combination of creamy pudding, sweet anko and fluffy cream makes this dessert a real highlight. Give it a try and let yourself be seduced by Japan’s green wonder!
