Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 egg white or 3 tbsp aquafaba (vegan option)
- 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener or erythritol
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 tsp cinnamon or 1 scoop collagen peptides
Instructions
- Whip the Egg White or Aquafaba: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg white (or aquafaba) using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.
- Add Sweetener and Vanilla: Gradually add the monk fruit sweetener or erythritol along with the vanilla extract. Continue whisking until a fluffy, meringue-like texture is achieved.
- Incorporate the Matcha: Sift the matcha powder into the whipped mixture and gently fold it in until fully combined, maintaining the airy texture.
- Prepare the Base: Heat the unsweetened almond milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Pour it into a serving glass or mug.
- Add Coconut Cream: Stir in a spoonful of coconut cream for extra richness and creaminess.
- Top with Whipped Matcha: Spoon the whipped matcha mixture over the warm almond milk base, creating a beautiful layered effect.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with cinnamon or collagen peptides if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy
Notes
- Vegan Option: Use aquafaba instead of egg whites for a plant-based version.
