Matcha panna cotta recipe from Raymond Tan and Audrey Payne

publication · 2026-05-28

Raymond Tan developed a matcha panna cotta recipe for Nimbo, the dessert shop he runs with his cousin Chian. Chian also operates a matcha shop called Matcha Mate with her wife Belle. The panna cotta is a seasonal spring and summer item at Nimbo, where it is topped with Red Bean Paste and skewered Dango. The recipe includes silver gelatine leaves, thickened cream, caster sugar, vanilla extract, and matcha powder. The red bean paste requires dried red beans, oil, sugars, maltose syrup, and optional orange zest. The dango uses glutinous rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, and salt. The recipe and images appear in the book "You’re Welcome!" by Raymond Tan with Audrey Payne, photography by Louise Hagger, published by Murdoch Books at RRP $49.99.
