Banana Pudding Matcha

Banana pudding and matcha might not seem like an obvious pairing, but this latte brings them together beautifully. Creamy, earthy, and lightly sweet, it combines two distinct flavors into a smooth, balanced drink that somehow works in the most delicious way.

Each layer tells its own story. The matcha is smooth and slightly bitter, the oat milk base is soft and creamy, and the banana pudding topping feels like a spoonful of dessert. The result is a drink that’s rich, comforting, and café-worthy without being overly complicated.

The drink starts with prepared matcha, whisked with water until smooth and frothy. Amoretti® Premium Maple Syrup adds a warm, caramel-like sweetness that softens the natural bitterness of the matcha without overpowering it. Oat milk is then added to create a creamy latte that stays light yet flavorful, giving the drink a cozy, dessert-inspired character.

The banana pudding cream is what transforms this latte into a dessert experience. Thick, smooth, and almost mousse-like, it's made with instant vanilla pudding mix for structure and heavy cream for richness. The key flavor comes from Amoretti® Premium Banana Syrup, which adds a natural, ripe banana sweetness that tastes much closer to classic banana pudding.

Ingredients

Matcha

4g matcha
40g water
3oz oat milk
1–1.5 pumps Amoretti® Premium Maple Syrup

Banana pudding cream

2 tbsp heavy cream
4 tbsp oat milk
24g instant vanilla pudding mix
1 pump Amoretti® Premium Banana Syrup

Directions

For the Banana Pudding Cream

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the heavy cream, oat milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, and banana syrup until smooth.
Let the mixture rest for 3–5 minutes to thicken. It should have a creamy, pourable consistency. If it becomes too thick, whisk in a splash of oat milk.

Matcha Latte

Sift the matcha into a bowl to remove any clumps.
Add the hot water and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk until smooth and frothy.
Stir in the maple syrup until fully dissolved.
Fill a serving glass with ice, then pour in the oat milk.
Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the oat milk to create a layered effect.

Assemble

Gently spoon or pour the banana pudding cream over the top of the latte. Finish with a generous sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafer cookies and place a mini Nilla Wafers on top for the perfect dessert-inspired finish.
Serve immediately and stir before drinking to combine the creamy banana topping with the matcha.
