Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.

  2. 2

    Add Matcha

    Whisk in the matcha green tea powder until completely dissolved and smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

  5. 5

    Strain the Mixture

    Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps.

  6. 6

    Pour into Ramekins

    Divide the mixture evenly among six ramekins.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Place ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 30-35 minutes or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

  8. 8

    Cool

    Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  9. 9

    Caramelize the Sugar

    Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of additional granulated sugar over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy top.

  10. 10

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh berries and serve immediately.
