500 ml whole milk
50 ml heavy cream (optional)
38g (3 tbsp) sugar or 30g honey
7g (2½ tsp) unflavored gelatin powder
1g (½ tsp) vanilla extract
2g matcha powder (optional)
Bloom the gelatin in 60g cold milk and let it rest for 5-10min.
If using matcha powder, whisk the matcha with 20-30g warm milk until completely smooth.
In a small pot, add milk, cream, and sugar/honey, heat up on medium heat until it reaches 140-150°F. Do not boil. Stir until sugar/honey is dissolved. This should take 1-2 min.
Remove from heat.
Stir in the bloomed gelatin and the vanilla extract.
Stir in the matcha mixture.
Optional: strain mixture
Pour pudding into small bowls/jars or similar containers.
Place pudding containers into the fridge to set. This will take about 4-6 hours. Once set, they can be eaten as is.
