Ingredients
Ingredients
- Heavy Cream – heavy cream or double cream known in other parts of the world. Used as the base of the sea salt cream.
- Sweetener – use your preferred sweetener.
- Matcha Powder – green tea leaves that have been ground into a powder. I recommend using culinary grade Matcha Powder for the best taste price ratio, but you can use ceremonial grade premium matcha if preferred.
- Vanilla Extract – concentrated flavors of Vanilla found in baking section of grocery stores. Helps give the matcha cream a touch of flavor.
🍵 Matcha Note
For this recipe, we recommend using Culinary Grade Matcha. It offers great taste at a more affordable price than ceremonial matcha.
Essential Kitchen Equipment
Directions
Step 1 In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, sweetener, vanilla extract and matcha powder. Use a hand mixer or frother on high speed until it reaches a thick and frothy consistency with soft peaks, typically taking about 1-3 minutes.
🌀 Mixing Pro Tip
Use a mixing bowl that will allow the Frother to Fully submerge in the Liquid or Tilt the Bowl. This will help to avoid splashes. The foam is ready once you lift the mixer and notice Peaks Formed in the mixture.
💡 Consistency Pro Tip
If your whipped cream becomes Overwhipped and Too Dense, just Fold in Extra Heavy Cream to restore its softness. This will adjust the consistency and bring it back to a lighter, creamier texture.
Recipe Variations
For a delightful twist on this recipe, you can replace the matcha powder with sea salt to create my Sea Salt Cream. This variation offers a savory, salty-sweet topping that pairs wonderfully with various beverages like in my Taiwanese Sea Salt Coffee or add a unique touch to Homemade Milk Tea with my Sea Salt Cream Milk Tea!
