Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 tablespoon matcha powder
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Additional matcha powder for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it’s just about to simmer. Do not boil.
2. While the milk is heating, whisk together the matcha powder, sugar, and cornstarch in a separate bowl.
3. Once the milk is heated, gradually whisk in the dry ingredients, ensuring a smooth mixture without lumps.
4. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. The mixture will begin to thicken in about 3-5 minutes.
5. Once the pudding thickens to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
6. Pour the pudding into small bowls. Allow them to cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Before serving, sprinkle a little matcha powder on top for garnish.

Helpful Tips

• To achieve a perfectly smooth pudding, use a fine-mesh sieve to sift the matcha powder before mixing it with other ingredients.
• If you prefer a sweeter pudding, add an additional two tablespoons of sugar.

Storage Instructions

Store the matcha pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Be sure to cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Ingredient Substitutions

• You can substitute whole milk with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
• If you don’t have cornstarch, you can use the same amount of arrowroot powder as a thickener.
