Banana Pudding Matcha
A creamy layered dessert that blends classic banana pudding with earthy matcha flavor, featuring silky green tea pudding, fresh bananas, and soft vanilla wafers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk (480 milliliters)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch (24 grams)
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder, sifted
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium ripe bananas, sliced (about 360 grams total)
- 2 cups vanilla wafer cookies (about 150 grams)
- 1 cup whipped cream (240 milliliters), lightly sweetened
Instructions
- Place a saucepan over medium heat and gently warm the milk until steaming but not boiling.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture to temper, then return everything to the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in sifted matcha powder, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- In a glass dish or individual cups, layer vanilla wafer cookies, sliced bananas, and matcha pudding. Repeat layers until ingredients are used.
- Top with whipped cream and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Sift the matcha powder to prevent clumps in the pudding.
- Slice bananas just before layering to reduce browning.
- Chill for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop and texture to set properly.
