Ingredients:

- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted

Serves: 4

Cooking Tips:

- Use high-quality matcha green tea powder for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the brulee, as it can become too firm and lose its creamy texture.
- Toast the coconut in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the cream and milk over medium heat until just simmering.
4. Remove from heat and whisk in the matcha green tea powder until smooth.
5. Slowly pour the matcha mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
6. Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the brulee is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.
11. Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top of each brulee.
12. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on top of each brulee until golden brown and crispy.
