Matcha whipping cream is a popular and flavorful dessert treat, but buying it doesn’t always give you the best possible quality.
In this article, we’ll take a look at how you can make your own matcha cream from the comfort of your home.

Matcha whipped cream is easy to make (especially if you use a cream charger when baking) and only contains a few basic ingredients. In particular, you’ll need the following ingredients:
Naturally, you can’t make any matcha cream recipe without cream. If you want it to be as good as you can get it, opt for the freshest cream you can find.
Of course, heavy cream puts a better spin on the whipped cream experience, and will give you a denser whipped cream than a standard cream.
Naturally, there are vegan whipped cream alternatives to this matcha cream recipe. Instead of heavy cream, you can use full-fat coconut milk or cream or your choice of vegan whipped cream options.
The sugar in this recipe helps to give your matcha whipped cream the classic taste and texture that you’re familiar with. We use granulated sugar because it’s affordable and provides sufficient sweetness.
Of course, you can try other types of sugar as well. Castor sugar is one possible alternative, and confectioner’s sugar is another. However, you should bear in mind that these finer types of sugar may make your whipped cream significantly sweeter than granulated sugar would.
You need a good matcha powder when making this recipe. However, it doesn’t have to be the truly high-grade stuff you’d use for tea ceremonies. In fact, this recipe is an excellent way to use the last of your old matcha powder.
The matcha powder does two things in this recipe. First, it gives the whipped cream a distinctive matcha flavor. Secondly, it provides the green tinge that makes matcha whipped cream stand out so much.
The vanilla extract in this matcha whipped cream recipe isn’t standard to all matcha cream recipes. However, it adds a lovely, flavorful edge to the resulting cream. You can treat it as optional, or you can experiment with other types of extracts (like caramel).
Top tip: If you’re going to experiment with extracts, don’t use lemon extract. Lemon naturally makes cream curdle.
This matcha whipped cream recipe takes about 20-30 minutes, including preparation time. You can expect a yield of around 4 cups.
Pro tip: You can modify the amount of matcha powder to suit your flavor. If you want more of a matcha taste, just increase the amount of powder used. You can also experiment with different types of sugar. Confectioner’s or castor sugar results in sweeter cream.
Matcha whipped cream pairs well with a wide array of different dishes and drinks.
Here are a few of our top examples:
Now that you have a reliable matcha whipped cream recipe, you can safely and easily make your own matcha cream at home. Not only is it an excellent way to use up your old matcha powder, but there’s plenty of room for experimentation.
If you’re feeling really adventurous, you can try pairing this matcha whipped cream recipe with your cream whipper after mixing in the matcha powder. It should work quite well as long as all the ingredients have been thoroughly combined.
