I name right this moment’s pudding ‘Straightforward Matcha Pudding’ since you don’t have to steam or bake it to coagulate the pudding, and the method is sort of easy. I added gelatine to the pudding combination and chilled it to set to a smooth jelly texture.

Matcha is bitter by nature, however by mixing sugar, milk, and cream to the matcha powder, the pudding will retain solely a touch of bitterness whereas maintaining the mild matcha style.

I talked about matcha in my publish, Matcha Cookies and talked about two grades of matcha powder – ceremonial grade and culinary grade. Naturally, the ceremonial grade matcha powder has a greater style and color.

Even within the culinary grade, there are lots of totally different manufacturers of matcha powder in the marketplace. Some powders have extra flavour, and a few have a extra powdery texture with coarser particles of the powder.

I made Matcha Pudding utilizing the next 3 manufacturers of matcha powder to check.

Left: Hey Matcha model ceremonial grade matcha powder. Center: Asahina model culinary grade matcha. Proper: Hagoromo model culinary grade matcha.

Asahina model matcha has a barely grainy and powdery texture, whereas Hagoromo and the ceremonial matcha have a silky texture. Maybe due to the grainy texture, the pudding made with Asahina matcha was barely bitter.

You possibly can inform the distinction in color at one look. The Matcha Pudding made with the ceremonial matcha is essentially the most vibrant inexperienced color.
