Ingredients for Strawberry Matcha

Method

Directions for Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pandan Cremeaux

    In a saucepan, combine the pandan leaves and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Custard Base

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale. Gradually add the infused coconut milk while whisking continuously. Return this mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens, about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare Strawberry Ice Cream

    Blend fresh strawberries until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until thick and creamy. Freeze until solid.

  4. 4

    Infuse Lemongrass

    In a small saucepan, add the chopped lemongrass and 200 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Assembly

    In serving glasses, layer the pandan cremeaux at the bottom, followed by a scoop of strawberry ice cream. Drizzle the lemongrass infusion on top and serve immediately.
