Matcha Green Tea Creme Brulee
Matcha Green Tea Creme Brulee is a delicious and unique dessert that combines the rich and creamy texture of traditional creme brulee with the earthy and slightly bitter flavor of matcha green tea. This dessert is perfect for those who love to experiment with new flavors and textures.
To make Matcha Green Tea Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
To begin, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in the matcha green tea powder until it is fully dissolved.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the matcha cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Pour the mixture into a ramekin or other oven-safe dish and place it in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekin. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the ramekin from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over the top of the custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it is golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately.
Matcha Green Tea Creme Brulee is a decadent and indulgent dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The creamy custard is perfectly balanced by the slightly bitter and earthy flavor of the matcha green tea, while the caramelized sugar adds a satisfying crunch and sweetness. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to become a new favorite in your recipe collection.
