This smooth, creamy, and slightly sweet Matcha Milk Spread will make you want to eat it all the time if you like matcha.
It’s like a matcha latte that you can spread on toast, pancakes, or even eat straight from the spoon. The best thing is? With just a few ingredients, it’s very simple to make. Let’s get going!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of matcha powder (ceremonial grade is best)
- 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup of whole milk
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of butter without salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Tools You’ll Need
- A small pot
- Whisk
- Small bowl
- Spatula made of rubber
- Glass jar (to store)
Tips for the Best Matcha Milk Spread
- Use good matcha: The better the matcha, the smoother and tastier your spread will be. The best matcha is ceremonial-grade.
- Mix the matcha with a little bit of liquid first. This stops it from clumping when you add it to the other ingredients.
- Cooking at a low temperature for a long time is important. Keep the heat low so the mixture doesn’t burn or get too thick.
- Change the sweetness: If you don’t want your spread to be as sweet, use unsweetened condensed milk and a little honey instead.
- For the best texture, chill the spread. It will thicken as it cools, so don’t worry if it looks runny when it’s warm.
Variations
- No dairy? Use both coconut milk and coconut condensed milk.
- More sweet? Add a teaspoon of syrup or honey.
- More thick? Add a little more cornstarch.
Instructions
- Combine cornstarch and matcha
Mix the matcha powder and cornstarch in a small bowl with a few tablespoons of milk until smooth. This stops lumps from forming. - Warm up the milk and the condensed milk.
Put the whole milk and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir slowly until the mixture is warm but not boiling. - Mix in the matcha
While stirring constantly to keep it smooth, slowly add the matcha-cornstarch mixture.
- Cook until it gets thick.
For 5 to 7 minutes, stir the mixture over low heat until it thickens into a smooth, spreadable consistency. - Add the vanilla and butter and mix.
Take the pot off the heat and mix in the butter and vanilla extract to make it creamier and tastier. - Let it cool and put it away.
Let the spread cool down a bit before putting it in a glass jar. As it cools, it will get thicker.
