creme brulee matcha latte

questions you may be asking while reading this recipe...

1. am I reading this right?

2. is she really serious?

3. did this girl really make an entire creme brulee just to blend it into coldfoam and top a drink?

   
   

   and the answer to all of those is YES! and if you are doubting my sanity, just know this is not something to make everyday but rather an every now and then treat. I mean it's fun (at least for us type 2 fun babes) to be a little extra.

The Ultimate Crème Brûlée Matcha Latte Experience

step one: make the creme brulee

you may want to make this step the day before or start early.

ingredients:

• 2 egg yolks

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

• ¾ cup heavy cream

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• 2 teaspoons sugar (for the brûlée topping)

  
  

instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Place two ramekins in a baking dish.

2. Make the Custard: Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale. Heat the cream in a saucepan until warm (but not boiling), then slowly whisk it into the egg mixture.

3. Bake in a Water Bath: Stir in vanilla and salt, then pour into ramekins. Add hot water to the baking dish (halfway up the ramekins) and bake for 30–35 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.

4. Chill: Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

step three: whip up your matcha latte

why you’ll love this recipe...

• It’s a crème brûlée latte. Do I even need to explain?

• Matcha is loaded with antioxidants, so technically, this is self-care.

• You don’t need fancy equipment—just a whisk, a milk frother (or a blender), and a kitchen torch (or an oven broiler in a pinch).

• We’re making an actual crème brûlée, too—because this kind of behavior is the reason you follow me.
