Ingredients

Matcha Pudding

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened matcha powder
  • 3 tablespoons hot water (for blooming matcha)
  • 2 3/4 cups oat milk (or other unsweetened non-dairy milk)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar or light brown sugar lighter sugar recommended for color
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon agar-agar powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings & Finish

  • 1 cup gluten-free granola
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup coconut yogurt (or preferred non-dairy yogurt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon extra matcha powder for dusting

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Measure the matcha into a small bowl and whisk with the hot water until smooth and lump-free; set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the milk base.
  • In a medium saucepan combine oat milk, sugar and agar-agar powder. Whisk briefly to distribute the agar, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently so nothing sticks.
  • Once the milk reaches a full boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the agar and sugar are completely dissolved and the liquid feels slightly thickened.
  • Temper the bloomed matcha by stirring a few tablespoons of the hot milk into the matcha bowl to loosen it, then pour the matcha back into the saucepan along with the vanilla extract. Whisk until evenly colored.
  • Strain the pudding mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup or bowl with a spout to remove any clumps. Divide the warm pudding among four serving glasses or jars.
  • Let the cups cool on the counter for 10 minutes, then transfer to the fridge and chill uncovered until fully set, about 1 1/2 hours (or up to 3 hours for firmer texture).
  • When the pudding is set, assemble each parfait: spoon a layer of coconut yogurt over the matcha pudding, sprinkle with granola, add a generous handful of blueberries, and repeat once if your glass allows.
  • Finish each parfait with a light dusting of matcha powder and serve chilled. If preparing ahead, keep toppings separate and add just before serving to preserve crunch.

Notes

Tip: For a silkier pudding, whisk the matcha through a small sieve before adding to the hot milk and strain the finished pudding. Make the pudding up to 2 days ahead and store covered; add granola just before serving to keep it crisp.
