Ingredients
Method
- Sprinkle gelatin powder over 3 tbsp cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes spongy and fully bloomed.
- Whisk the sifted matcha with 2 tbsp warm (not boiling) water in a small bowl until you get a smooth, lump-free paste.
- Pour coconut milk and coconut cream into a small saucepan. Add monk fruit sweetener and warm over medium-low heat, stirring, until the sweetener dissolves. Do not let it boil.
- When the coconut mixture reaches about 70 C / 160 F (steaming but not bubbling), remove from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until completely dissolved.
- Whisk in the matcha paste and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniformly green with no streaks.
- Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a spouted jug to remove any small lumps.
- Divide evenly between 4 ramekins or silicone molds. Let cool to room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Cover each mold loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firmly set.
- To unmold, run a thin knife around the edge, place a plate on top, and flip in one clean motion. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a cleaner unmold, lightly brush ramekins with a neutral oil before filling. It releases without any tearing.
