Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Matcha powder
  • 5 Egg yolks
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon Sugar (for caramelizing)

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and matcha powder over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and thick. Gradually add the warm cream mixture, whisking constantly. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl with a spout.
  5. Divide the mixture among ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and add hot water to the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each custard. Use a blowtorch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden crust.
