Apart from being flourless, this pudding is also starch-free and eggless, having only milk, cream, sugar, gelatine and a popular Japanese ingredient, matcha.
I make the pudding with double-boiling method, more or less like a bain-marie, mainly because it is practically fool-proof and also makes things easier to clean.
Plus, as a lover for a smoother and silkier pudding, I took one more step after preparing the mixture – strain it – the same way I did for a smooth steamed eggs.
The pudding is nice on its own or served with a dash of cream or milk. I also wish I had a dollop of sweetened red bean paste with the pudding, making it more Japanese.
- Ingredients
- 3 tsp green tea powder (matcha), ~ 9g
- 3 tsp gelatine powder, ~ 9g
- 150ml milk
- 75ml whipping cream
- 150ml hot water
- 30g sugar, I used rock sugar (crushed)
- 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of milk or whipping cream or sweetened red bean paste, optional
- yields 4 servings, about 100ml each
Method
Over moderate heat, rest a stainless steel mixing bowl over a pot with simmering water – similar to a bain marie.
Put gelatine powder and hot water in the mixing bowl, whisking to dissolve. Then add rock sugar and green tea, again stirring constantly until all are dissolved.
Remove from heat. Stir in green tea, milk and whipping cream; mix well (you may sample the sweetness here) and strain the mixture.
Pour the pudding mixture into moulds, cups, or glasses.
Let cool, and store in fridge for about 2 hours, or until the puddings are solidify.
Serve cold, topped with milk, or whipping cream, or dash of sweetened red bean paste.
Enjoy!

@Angie@Angie’s Recipes,
The straining helps.
@Juliana,
You too.
Anytime, anywhere- matcha is my favourite! Thanks for the recipe!
Looks very smooth, creamy and delicious. Maureen, thanks very much for voting for my Tuscany dish. Really appreciate.
This is beautiful & I love the cute spoon 🙂
This is lovely. I have some matcha green tea left from my cookies and I’ve been trying to decide how to use it. Great timing. And I love that spoon!
That looks delish. I have a few matcha recipes I’ve been wanting to try but I can’t find any matcha power in stores!
@Rack of Lam,
I bought the matcha powder from a Japanese supermarket.
Gluten free sounds just fantastic. Thanks again for a great recipe.

Wow this looks yummy! I love anything that’s silky smooth too. So happen I have just made some red bean paste, will definitely make this soon. Thank you for the great recipe
wow, that’s really smooth!! your thought of red bean paste to go with this sounds really good!
There’s same amount of water as milk…will that make it taste watery??
@Sussan,
Fine with me, as there are whipping cream as well.
