Ingredients
| 7 g (2 tsp) | gelatine | |
| 40 ml | water | |
| 2 1/2 tsp | 13 ml | green tea powder (matcha) |
| 250 ml | milk, room temperature | |
| 250 ml | whipping cream | |
| 60 g | sugar | |
| 1/2 tsp | 2.5 ml | vanilla |
| 100 g | raspberries + extra for garnish (sauce) | |

| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | water (sauce) |
Instructions
Prep time: 5 min Cook time: 15 min + chilling time Yield: 4 x 200 ml moulds
- Dissolve the gelatine in water. Let it stand. Take 80 ml of the prepared milk to mix with the green tea and set aside for later.
- Mix the rest of the milk, the cream and the sugar in a saucepan. Heat on medium temperature until the sugar melts. Pour in the gelatine. Stir until you are sure the gelatine has fully dissolved. Stir in the green tea mixture. Add vanilla. Strain. Use a spoon to press any remaining particles through the sieve, if any. Stir well. Pour into moulds. Leave to cool for 30 min (this will give the layers a chance to form themselves). Leave in the fridge for 3 hours.
- Prepare the sauce: Heat the raspberries and sugar on the stove until the sugar dissolves and the raspberries break down. Mix the cornflour with the water. Gradually pour in and stir to a full consistency. Strain through a fine sieve and discard the seeds. Set aside.
- To serve: Dip the moulds in hot water for about 2 seconds. Turn out and pour onto a plate. Decorate with the raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries.
Notes:
- You can replace the raspberries with strawberries.
- You don't need to boil the milk. Make sure the gelatine has fully dissolved.
- If you don't want layers, you can put the mixture in the fridge after it has cooled a little; you don't need to wait 30 min.
- For best results, try to find a quality matcha powder.
Q&A Would the layers form themselves? It's amazing!!! Exactly, they will automatically form layers if leaving them aside before chilling. No fuss at all.
