Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tsp matcha powder with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined and no lumps remain.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, pour 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk and sprinkle 1 tsp agar agar powder evenly over the surface. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 3: Heat the coconut milk and agar agar mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until it comes to a gentle boil. Boil for 2 minutes to activate the agar.
Step 4: Reduce heat to low and whisk in the matcha-sugar mixture and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and uniformly green.
Step 5: Pour the mixture into 4 small serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set and chilled.
Step 6: Before serving, sprinkle 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes on top for a crunchy contrast.
