Matcha Crème Brûlée

⏱ Time: 10 min preparation + 35 min baking

Level: medium

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of cream 30-36%
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon premium matcha (sifted)
  • granulated sugar for caramelization

Preparation:

1 Cream mixture

  1. Heat the cream with vanilla in a pot (do not bring to a boil).
  2. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar.
  3. Add the hot cream slowly, stirring vigorously.

2 Matcha

  1. In a small bowl, mix the matcha with 3 tablespoons of the hot mixture to form a smooth paste.
  2. Add the matcha paste to the rest of the cream and mix.

3 Baking

  1. Pour the mixture into ramekins.
  2. Place them in an ovenproof dish and pour hot water up to half their height (water bath).
  3. Bake for 35–40 minutes at 150°C , until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

4 Caramelization

  1. Once cooled, sprinkle each crème brûlée with a thin layer of sugar.
  2. Toast the sugar with a blowtorch until a golden, crispy crust forms.

Pass

Serve immediately after caramelizing – the contrast of the cold cream and the hot crust is at its best.
