Instructions
Creating homemade Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream is both simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect texture and flavor:
- Whisk Matcha and Milk:
In a bowl, combine the matcha green tea powder with milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This step ensures that the matcha disperses evenly, providing a consistent flavor throughout the ice cream. - Whip the Cream:
In another bowl, pour in the heavy cream and add the vanilla extract. Use a mixer to whip the cream until soft peaks form. The texture should be light and airy, which is crucial for a creamy ice cream base. - Combine Ingredients:
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and the matcha mixture into the whipped cream. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream as you mix, maintaining its fluffy texture. - Freeze the Mixture:
Transfer the mixture into a container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until the ice cream is firm. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the ice cream is set, scoop it into bowls or cones. Enjoy the delightful blend of creamy and earthy flavors with every bite.
