This green tea ice cream is made with real matcha powder. I created the recipe based on the sweet cream base from Ben and Jerry's.
Ingredients
- matcha green tea powder: 1 Tbsp (to taste)
- whole milk: 1 cup
- heavy whipping cream: 2 cups
- white sugar: 0.75 cup
- eggs: 2 piece

Stages of cooking
-
Whisk matcha powder in a bowl to remove any lumps. Add a splash of milk and whisk until matcha powder is completely dissolved. Gradually whisk in remaining milk.
-
Transfer matcha mixture to a pot. Add cream and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
-
Whisk sugar and eggs together in a bowl. Pour 1/2 cup hot matcha mixture into egg mixture, whisking quickly until thoroughly combined. Repeat with remaining matcha mixture. Pour mixture back into the pot.
-
Cook and stir matcha mixture over medium-low heat until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.
-
Pour chilled matcha mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
