Instructions
Gather all the ingredients.
Start by mixing gelatin with water in a bowl to allow it to bloom.
Next, separate the egg yolks from the whites.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetener until they become a pale yellow color. Slowly add the warmed milk while stirring to temper the mixture and prevent the eggs from cooking.
Pour this mixture into a pot and heat it over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until it begins to bubble gently, just before boiling, or until it reaches 160°F. Then, remove it from the heat.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, matcha powder, and bloomed gelatin to the pot. Whisk everything together until fully blended. Note - if the gelatin is solid, microwave for 10-15 seconds to return it back to liquid state.
Finally, use a fine mesh strainer and pour the pudding mixture into ramekins or molds, cover and place them in the refrigerator. Chill for about 3-4 hours until the pudding is set.
