Description
This Matcha Rice Pudding is a creamy, comforting dessert that combines the earthy flavor of matcha green tea with tender arborio rice cooked in milk and sweetened condensed milk.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (190 grams, 6.70 ounces) arborio rice
- 1 cup (250 ml/grams, 8.81 ounces) water
- 2 cups (500 ml/grams, 17.64 ounces) milk of choice
- 25 grams (0.88 ounces) white sugar
- 1 tablespoon (10 grams, 0.35 ounces) matcha powder (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams, 0.98 ounce) butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- ½ cup (125 ml/grams, 4.41 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons (20 grams, 0.71 ounces) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan, add the arborio rice, water, milk, white sugar, matcha powder, softened butter, vanilla essence, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir together to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Place the saucepan over medium to high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking and ensure the matcha powder is fully incorporated.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to simmer gently. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens to a creamy pudding texture.
- After the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the white chocolate chips if using. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving warm, or refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or overnight for a chilled dessert.
Notes
- Serve warm or chilled.
- Optional white chocolate chips add sweetness.
