Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder (about 1 envelope)
  • 2 1/4 cups oat milk, divided
  • 1/4 cup organic cane sugar or white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder, plus extra for dusting (optional)
  • Optional toppings: non-dairy whipped cream, crushed pistachios, fresh strawberries or blueberries

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe cup, combine gelatin powder with 1/4 cup oat milk. Whisk with a fork until fully combined and let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Meanwhile, add the remaining 2 cups oat milk and sugar to a saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
  3. Sift matcha powder into a small bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of the warm milk mixture and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  4. Pour matcha mixture back into the saucepan and stir to combine.
  5. Melt bloomed gelatin by microwaving in 20-second intervals or using a double boiler, stirring until fully dissolved (do not boil).
  6. Pour the dissolved gelatin into the matcha milk mixture and stir until evenly combined.
  7. Carefully pour into individual serving cups. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  8. Serve chilled, plain or topped with whipped cream, nuts, fruit, or a dusting of matcha powder.

Notes

  • Use soy, almond, or coconut milk for variation.
  • Reduce sugar to 3 tablespoons for stronger matcha flavor.
  • Add vanilla extract for extra depth.
  • Layer with red bean paste for a Japanese-style dessert.
