Ingredients
– 6-8 pieces of ready-made tart dough (available at leading department stores or bakeries)
– 2 egg yolks
– 50 grams fresh milk
– 35 grams fine sugar
– 1 teaspoon MATCHAZUKI Medium-grade Matcha powder
– 100 grams unsalted whipping cream
– A pinch of salt
– A pinch of hot water (for dissolving the matcha powder)

Instructions
1. Prepare the Tart Shells:
– Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the ready-made tart dough into tart pans and bake for about 5 minutes. This step helps prevent the bottom of the tart from becoming soggy and ensures the crust remains crispy. Once baked, set aside to cool.
2. Make the Custard Filling:
– In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, fresh milk, sugar, whipping cream, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
3. Prepare the Matcha:
– Dissolve the MATCHAZUKI Medium-grade Matcha powder in a small amount of hot water. Stir until completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
4. Combine and Strain:
– Add the dissolved matcha mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until well combined. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to ensure a smooth, lump-free custard.
5. Bake the Tarts:
– Pour the matcha custard into the prepared tart shells, filling them nearly to the top. Return the tarts to the oven and bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown and the custard is set.
6. Cool and Serve:
– Allow the matcha egg tarts to cool slightly before serving. The crispy tart crust combined with the rich and fragrant green tea custard offers a perfect balance of textures and flavors.
