Indulge in Creamy Delight: Matcha Green Tea Panna C

Exploring Unique Flavors: Matcha Green Tea Panna Cotta

Today, I am excited to share a delicious and healthier dessert recipe that combines the creaminess of panna cotta with the earthy, slightly bitter notes of matcha green tea. This unique dessert is perfect for those looking to indulge in a sweet treat while still keeping an eye on their health.

Ingredients:

• 300g heavy cream
• 200g milk
• 100g sugar
• 10g gelatin
• 15g matcha green tea powder
• 5g vanilla extract

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• whisk
• measuring cups
• ramekins
• stove
• mixing bowl

To start, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and small bubbles start to form around the edges of the saucepan. Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Next, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften. Whisk the mixture again until the gelatin has completely dissolved.

In a separate mixing bowl, sift the matcha green tea powder to remove any lumps. Slowly whisk in a small amount of the warm cream mixture to create a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining warm mixture, making sure the matcha is well incorporated.

Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk until everything is fully combined. Divide the mixture among the ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.

Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or until set. To serve, you can top the panna cotta with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of matcha powder for an extra pop of color and flavor.

One clever tip for this recipe is to bloom the gelatin in cold water before adding it to the warm cream mixture. This will ensure a smooth and silky texture in the final dish.

I encourage you to give this Matcha Green Tea Panna Cotta a try and feel free to experiment with different toppings and flavors to make it your own. Enjoy!
