Organic Matcha Crème Brûlée

Crème brûlée is one of the French people's favorite desserts, so why not give it a Japanese twist with a matcha version? I absolutely loved this reinterpretation: the matcha is bold, yet the overall result remains wonderfully indulgent, perfectly sweet, and the creams are silky smooth. And best of all — the very reason we love crème brûlée so much — that thin layer of caramelized sugar that cracks under the spoon... What's more, it's a very simple and quick recipe to make.

Crème brûlée is one of the French people's favorite desserts, so why not give it a little Japanese twist with a matcha version? I really loved this reinvention: the matcha is bold but the overall result remains wonderfully indulgent, perfectly sweet, and the creams are velvety smooth.

And above all, the very reason we love crème brûlée so much: the thin layer of caramelized sugar that cracks under the spoon… What's more, it's a very simple and quick recipe to make.

For this matcha crème brûlée recipe, we will use organic premium matcha tea. You will need a small kitchen torch in order to caramelize the brown sugar. 🙂

This recipe makes 6 matcha crèmes brûlées in 11 cm diameter ramekins.

Start by whisking the matcha into the 100g of heavy cream to form a paste (this makes it easier to incorporate into the crème brûlée mixture).

In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the caster sugar, add the matcha paste, mix, then gradually pour in the 400g of heavy cream.

Pour the matcha crème brûlée mixture into the ramekins and place them on a baking tray previously filled with a shallow layer of water (baking the crèmes brûlées in a water bath is more than recommended to achieve that silky smoothness).

Bake at 100°C for 25 to 30 minutes: open the oven door during baking to check: the center of the matcha crèmes brûlées should still be slightly wobbly.

Once out of the oven, immediately remove the ramekins from the baking tray and let them chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours (ideally, make them the day before serving).

The next day, take the matcha crèmes brûlées out of the fridge and sprinkle them with brown sugar before caramelizing the sugar using a kitchen torch. Let the caramel harden for 4-5 minutes before serving and enjoying.

I love crème brûlée and this matcha reinvention is truly delicious. You get the bold character of the matcha along with the sweetness and indulgence brought by the caramel… To die for!

Happy baking.
