Instructions
 

  • For No-Churn Matcha Ice Cream:
  • Whip the Cream:
  • In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Mix the Base:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  • Combine And Freeze:
  • Gently fold the matcha mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined.
  • Transfer to a loaf pan or airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
  • For Ice Cream Maker Version:
  • Heat the Base:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, heavy cream, sugar, and matcha powder until fully dissolved.
  • Heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  • Temper the Egg Yolks:
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
  • Slowly add a ladle of the warm milk mixture into the yolks while whisking continuously (this prevents scrambling).
  • Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
  • Chill And Churn:
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let cool.
  • Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Freeze And Enjoy:
  • Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Make It Vegan: Use coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
  • Boost the Flavor: Sift the matcha powder before mixing for a smoother texture.
  • Toppings: Add white chocolate chips, mochi pieces, or sweet red bean paste for extra indulgence!
