So, St. Patrick’s Day! Last year I celebrated by making comically green pancakes<\/a> dyed with matcha green tea and garnished with green kiwi. If you know anything about me, you know matcha is perhaps my all-time favorite ingredient and I’ll use it anytime I get the opportunity. So why not continue the green tea theme and make this matcha…uh, flan? <\/p>\n

Here at One Ingredient Chef, we’re well-versed in turning cuisine inside out by making ordinary dishes out of bizarre ingredients that come together for amazing flavors; a la cauliflower rice<\/a> or chickpea ricotta<\/a>. But taking a Mexican dessert, infusing it with Japanese green tea, and serving it for an Irish holiday? Maybe we’re taking this too far.<\/p>\n

\"Matcha_Flan\"<\/p>\n

Cultural technicalities aside, this incredibly simple recipe is just coconut milk solidified with agar and infused with just a little matcha and maple syrup. 4 ingredients. Simple.<\/p>\n

Now, I am well aware that this dessert looks totally silly, but don’t even mess with it. The flavors are too serious. A creamy coconut base with slightly bitter matcha and sweet notes of maple syrup all solidified into a custard-like dessert? Oh yes. If you can procure some matcha and agar (they’re easy to find and last forever in your pantry), give this one a shot. It takes just 10 minutes and you won’t regret it. <\/p>\n
