Custard: Matcha

Ingredients

I1:🥛1.5 cups heavy cream
I2:🥛1.5 cup whole lactaid
I3:🍬¾ cup sugar
I4:🥚5 large egg yolks
I5:🧂Pinch (small) of salt
I6:🍵1 Tbs Matcha powder

Instructions

Step 1:Blend until smooth.
I1: 🥛 1.5 cups heavy cream
I2: 🥛 1.5 cup whole lactaid
I3: 🍬 ¾ cup sugar
I4: 🥚 5 large egg yolks
I5: 🧂 Pinch (small) of salt
I6: 🍵 1 Tbs Matcha powder
Step 2:Sous vide at 175F for an hour
Step 3:Churn

Result

Good out of the machine. It set a bit harder than the other custards. It needs a little work to soften it up. Maybe try a 2/1 cream/milk ratio? Or maybe add a T of sunflower seed oil? Probably wouldn’t work because the recipe was truncated.


Ingredients

I1:🥛1.5 cups heavy cream
I2:🥛1.5 cup whole lactaid
I3:🍬1 cup sugar
I4:🥚6 large egg yolks
I5:🧂Pinch (small) of salt
I6:🍵1 Tbs matcha powder

Instructions

Step 1:Blend until smooth.
I1: 🥛 1.5 cups heavy cream
I2: 🥛 1.5 cup whole lactaid
I3: 🍬 1 cup sugar
I4: 🥚 6 large egg yolks
I5: 🧂 Pinch (small) of salt
I6: 🍵 1 Tbs matcha powder
Step 2:Sous vide at 175F for an hour
Step 3:Churn

Result

If you want to change it, consider level Tablespoon as the flavor can be a bit strong, and consider shifting to 6 eggs or 2 cups cream.


Ingredients

I1:🥛2 cups cream
I2:🥛1 cup whole milk
I3:🍬1 cup sugar
I4:🥚6 large egg yolks
I5:🧂Pinch (small) of salt
I6:🍵2 tsp matcha powder

Instructions

Step 1:Blend until smooth.
I1: 🥛 2 cups cream
I2: 🥛 1 cup whole milk
I3: 🍬 1 cup sugar
I4: 🥚 6 large egg yolks
I5: 🧂 Pinch (small) of salt
I6: 🍵 2 tsp matcha powder
Step 2:Sous vide at 175F for an hour
Step 3:Churn

Result

2 cups cream yields a soft result, but the cream flavor overwhelms the matcha flavor. Same problem occurred with the red bean. Really be careful about using 2 cups of cream instead of 3 cups half and half.


Ingredients

I1:🥛3 cups half and half
I2:🍬1 cup sugar

Not yet verified, but I expect this will be a good balance.
