Ingredients

1 egg yolk, beaten
1 large egg
3oz chopped white chocolate
3.5oz cooked adzuki beans, mashed
2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp butter

Utensils

Small baking pan
Medium baking pan
Parchment paper
Saucepan
Whisker

DIRECTIONS

Add heavy cream in a small saucepan and heat up over medium heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. Turn the heat to low and then add the chocolate. Mix until completely incorporated.
Add egg and egg yolk. Whisk the mixture for 1-2 minutes and then add matcha green tea powder, butter, and flour. Continue to cook for a couple of minutes more. Remove the mixture from the heat and set aside.
Line a small baking pan with parchment paper and add adzuki beans. Flatten the beans as evenly as possible to create a nice flat layer. Pour the matcha mixture over the beans and set aside.
Make a water bath in a medium baking pan and place the terrine in it.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes at 300 degrees F.
When done, remove from the oven and cool to a room temperature. Refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Optionally, decorate with some more matcha and serve.

Matcha Adzuki Terrine with White Chocolate

matcha-adzuki-terrine-ingredients

A terrine is a classic French pate made with many different ingredients, baked until completely set, and then served cold.

A couple of weeks ago, I have tried this fantastic terrine recipe that includes a refreshing and my personal favorite) matcha green tea powder, heavy cream, and mashed adzuki beans for a lovely balance of flavors. Eggs will hold the mixture together while the white chocolate will provide the right amount of creaminess and chocolate flavor you expect in a good dessert.

The recipe is relatively easy to make and takes about 15 minutes of total preparation time. Baking, on the other hand, does require a nice water bath for the best results – the terrine should be completely set but tender and creamy when chilled.
