We love eating this homemade hojicha pudding as a snack, and it can also be used as a delicious filling for cakes, taiyaki, and cream puffs. Ready to get started on this hojicha dessert?
Here are the three secrets to a perfectly smooth hojicha pudding. First, the dry ingredients must be thoroughly combined with the Hojicha Powder to ensure it will be lump-free. Second, the dry ingredients should be dissolved in a minimal amount of liquid so that the final result will have a silky texture that isn’t grainy. Finally, constantly stir your pudding to ensure it thickens evenly.
This recipe yields one serving, but you can easily adjust it to make a larger batch of pudding.
Ingredients
- 1.5 teaspoons Hojicha Powder
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch powder
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 20 ml cold water
- 100 ml milk (we used oat milk)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add 1.5 teaspoons of hojicha powder, 1 tablespoon of tapioca powder starch, 1.5 of tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt into a small saucepan. Mix well until no white streaks remain.
- Add 20 ml of cold water, and mix until the dry ingredients are fully dissolved and form a thick paste.
- Add 100 ml of your choice of milk and stir well.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, while stirring occasionally.
- As soon as the mixture begins to steam, lower the heat to medium low. Then stir continuously while making sure to scrape the bottom.
- Remove from heat right before the mixture reaches your desired firmness, as the pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour into a jar and refrigerate.
- Serve your hojicha pudding chilled or at room temperature.
