Creamy Matcha Milk Spread

It’s like a spreadable matcha latte—perfect on toast, pancakes, or even straight from the spoon. The best part? It’s super easy to make with just a few ingredients. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

• 2 tbsp matcha powder (high-quality, preferably ceremonial grade)
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Pro Tips

1. Use high-quality matcha – The better the matcha, the smoother and more flavorful your spread will be. Ceremonial-grade matcha works best.
2. Mix matcha with a little liquid first – This helps prevent clumps when adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
3. Low and slow cooking is key – Keep the heat low to avoid burning or making the mixture too thick.
4. Adjust sweetness – If you prefer a less sweet spread, use unsweetened condensed milk and add a touch of honey instead.
5. Chill for best texture – The spread thickens as it cools, so don’t worry if it looks runny when warm.

Tools You’ll Need

• Small saucepan
• Whisk
• Small bowl
• Rubber spatula
• Glass jar (for storage)

Substitutions & Variations

• Dairy-Free? Use coconut milk and coconut condensed milk.
• Sweeter? Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
• Thicker? Increase the cornstarch slightly.

Make-Ahead Tips

• Store in the fridge for up to one week in an airtight jar.
• If it thickens too much, warm it up slightly and stir before using.

How to Make Matcha Milk Spread

1. Mix Matcha & Cornstarch

In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of milk until smooth. This prevents lumps.

2. Heat Milk & Condensed Milk

In a small saucepan over low heat, add the whole milk and sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until warmed but not boiling.

3. Add Matcha Mixture

Slowly whisk in the matcha-cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly to keep it smooth.

4. Cook Until Thickened

Keep stirring over low heat for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens into a smooth, spreadable consistency.

5. Stir in Butter & Vanilla

Turn off the heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract for extra creaminess and flavor.

6. Cool & Store

Let the spread cool slightly, then transfer to a glass jar. It will thicken more as it cools.

Leftovers & Storage

• Store in the fridge for up to 1 week in an airtight jar.
• If too thick, warm slightly and stir before using.
