Equipment

  • 2 medium mixing bowls (using glass mixing bowls or stainless steel is best; one bowl heatproof)
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • metal whisk
  • Airtight glass container or plastic wrap (for storage)

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp white sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 3 tbsp food-grade matcha powder the better the matcha, the better the flavor
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ cup very hot water not boiling
  • 8 oz very cold heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Make the Matcha Mixture

  • In a small heatproof bowl, combine sugar, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pour in 1/4 cup of very hot water. Whisk vigorously with a metal whisk until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and lump-free. Set aside.

Whip the Cream

  • In another chilled mixing bowl, add 8 oz of very cold heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer on high speed, whisk until soft peaks begin to form. Reduce speed to medium and continue whisking until stiff peaks form. The whipped cream should stick well to the whisk.

Combine Matcha and Whipped Cream

  • Pour half of the prepared matcha mixture into the whipped cream. Using a metal whisk by hand, gently fold the matcha into the cream until partially blended. Add the remaining matcha mixture and fold again until the whipped cream with matcha is fluffy, evenly colored, and completely smooth.
