Easy Matcha Pudding (4 Ingredients)
This matcha pudding is an easy no-bake dessert that you can whip up anytime! It is silky, smooth and the bitter sweetness of matcha is just so addictive. Enjoy on its own, or top with cream or your favorite ice cream. This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free.
Equipment
- 5 4oz cups
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder 1 envelope
- ¼ cup oat milk to melt the gelatin
- 2 cups oat milk
- ¼ cup organic cane sugar or any white sugar
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder plus more for dusting
Optional toppings
- non-dairy whipped cream
- crushed pistachio
Instructions
- In a microwavable cup, combine the gelatin powder and ¼ cup oat milk together. Whisk well immediately with a fork, then let sit for 5 minutes. It'll start to look spongy, absorbing the liquid.
- While letting the gelatin sit, warm up 2 cups oat milk and sugar together in a saucepan. Stir well until the sugar has completely dissolved. Do not let it boil.
- Sift matcha powder into a small bowl. Then scoop 4 tablespoon of the milk mix out of the saucepan and add to the matcha. Whisk well with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a fork. Make sure there are no lumps of dry powder.
- Add the matcha mix into the milk mix. Stir well.
- Microwave the gelatin+milk mix (from step 1) at 20 seconds increments until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler, stirring constantly. Do not let the mix boil as it can weaken gelatin's setting power.
- Pour the dissolved gelatin mix into the matcha milk base, stir well.
- Pour the mix into cups and refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
- Optional: top with dairy free whipped cream, dust with matcha powder. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
Notes
Boiling gelatin weakens its setting power so watch closely when microwaving the gelatin mix. If you see it bubbling, stop cooking immediately and mix.
Oat milk can be substituted with any non-dairy milk. I recommend a thicker type such as soy milk.
