Spectral Matcha Green Tea Panna Cotta
Course Dessert
Cuisine Italian
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Small bowl
  • Ramekins or glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  • Whisk the matcha powder into the warm cream mixture until fully smooth and no lumps remain.
  • Add the bloomed gelatin to the saucepan and stir until it melts completely into the liquid.
  • Remove the pan from heat and divide the mixture evenly among four small glasses or ramekins.
  • Chill the panna cotta in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  • Top each serving with a few fresh blackberries just before bringing them to the table.

Notes

Bloom the gelatin fully before adding it to the warm liquid to avoid any grainy texture in the finished panna cotta. The blackberries provide a dark contrast that highlights the green color without overpowering the matcha flavor.
