– 2 tbsp Sweetened condensed milk
– 1 tbsp MATCHAZUKI Medium-grade Matcha powder
– 2 Sheets of gelatin
– 3 tbsp Tofu powder
This recipe yields approximately 3 servings.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Gelatin:
– Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water and set them aside to soften.
2. Make the Pudding Base:
– In a pot, combine the fresh milk, soy milk, sweetened condensed milk, tofu powder, and sift the MATCHAZUKI matcha powder through a sieve to ensure smoothness. Stir the mixture well.
3. Cook the Mixture:
– Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil. Once it starts boiling, remove from heat.
4. Incorporate the Gelatin:
– Add the soaked gelatin sheets to the hot mixture and stir until completely dissolved.
5. Chill and Set:
– Pour the pudding mixture into molds or round cups. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until it has set and the pudding is firm to the touch.
6. Serve:
– Once the pudding is fully set, remove it from the molds. To serve, create a small indentation in the center of the pudding and place it on crushed ice. Drizzle with a little extra condensed milk and top with sweet red bean paste or fresh fruit for a finishing touch.
