Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cream charger and whipped cream dispenser
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Matcha Mixture
In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps. Add a few teaspoons of heavy cream and whisk until the matcha forms a smooth paste. This ensures the powder blends evenly into the cream.
2. Combine the Ingredients
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the remaining heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir in the matcha paste and mix until fully combined.
3. Fill the Whipped Cream Dispenser
Pour the matcha cream mixture into your whipped cream dispenser. Make sure not to exceed the maximum fill line to allow proper aeration.
4. Charge the Dispenser
Attach the cream charger to the dispenser, secure it tightly, and shake it well for 10-15 seconds to mix the nitrous oxide with the cream.
5. Dispense the Matcha Cream
Hold the dispenser upright and gently press the lever to release the creamy matcha goodness. Use it to top beverages like lattes, and iced teas, or desserts like waffles, pancakes, or cakes.
Tips for the Best Matcha Cream
- Chill the Cream and Dispenser: Cold cream whips better, producing a more stable texture. Place your dispenser in the fridge for an hour before use.
- Adjust Sweetness: Add more or less powdered sugar based on your preference.
- High-Quality Matcha: Use culinary-grade matcha for the best flavour and vibrant green colour.
