Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 teaspoons powdered gelatin

1/4 cup cold water

2 teaspoons matcha powder

Optional garnishes: whipped cream, fresh berries, edible flowers, matcha dust

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle powdered gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in white chocolate chips until fully melted, and mix until smooth.
  4. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and whisk until dissolved.
  5. Divide the mixture into two bowls. In one, whisk in matcha powder. Sift the matcha powder to prevent clumps.
  6. Pour the matcha mixture into serving glasses and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes until set.
  7. Once the matcha layer is set, pour the white chocolate mixture over the matcha and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or until fully set.
  8. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, edible flowers, or a dusting of matcha powder. Serve chilled.

Notes

This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

If using gelatine sheets instead of powdered gelatin, follow the package instructions for blooming.

For a vegan version, use coconut milk, vegan white chocolate, and agar-agar instead of gelatin.

To avoid clumps in the matcha layer, always sift the matcha powder before adding it to the mixture.
