Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or additional heavy cream)
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.
- Combine the cream and coconut milk: In a saucepan, mix together the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat gently over medium heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling.

- Serve and enjoy: Run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate if desired, or serve in the cups. Top with crushed pistachios or fresh berries.
Notes
For a tropical twist, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream. Ensure to use high-quality matcha for the best flavor.
