An elegant, silky baked custard with a crackly caramelized top — and a smooth green twist from NeuroMatcha, our mushroom matcha drink mix formulated to support calm, focused energy. It looks like a restaurant dessert but comes together with a handful of ingredients, and you can make the custards ahead and torch them just before serving. NeuroMatcha's instant, clump-free mix whisks right into the warm cream.
Why this recipe works
Crème brûlée is all about a gently baked custard set in a water bath, which keeps it luxuriously smooth. NeuroMatcha dissolves into the warm cream for an even color and its focus-supporting blend of matcha, functional mushrooms, and Alpha GPC, while the classic sugar crust adds that satisfying crack. Straining the custard gives the silkiest texture.
Ingredients (makes 4)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons NeuroMatcha mushroom matcha drink mix
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (plus more for the topping)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Warm the cream. Heat the oven to 325°F. Warm the cream until steaming (not boiling), then whisk in the NeuroMatcha until dissolved.
- Whisk the yolks. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until pale.
- Temper. Slowly whisk the warm matcha cream into the yolks, then whisk in the vanilla and strain the mixture.
- Water bath. Divide among 4 ramekins set in a baking dish and pour hot water halfway up the sides.
- Bake. Bake 30–35 minutes, until set with a slight jiggle in the center. Chill at least 2 hours.
- Brûlée. Before serving, sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar on top and torch (or broil) until caramelized.
Tips & variations
- Water bath matters: It keeps the custard silky and prevents curdling.
- Don't overbake: A slight center jiggle means it will set perfectly as it chills.
- Torch last: Caramelize just before serving so the top stays crisp.
- Make ahead: The custards keep 2–3 days chilled; add the sugar crust at the last minute.
The OurJrney difference
NeuroMatcha is built for people who want to stay sharp and calm at the same time. Turning it into a showpiece dessert is a special way to enjoy it — you get the smooth matcha flavor and its focus-supporting blend, in a custard that looks and tastes like a patisserie treat.
