This matcha green tea ice cream recipe is so easy to make whether you have an ice cream maker or not. The ice cream has a very creamy texture and heavenly delicious green tea flavor with a touch of vanilla.
8" by 5" (20cm by 13cm) loaf pan or similar size air-tight container
Ingredients
3egg yolksof large eggs
110gpowdered sugar
½teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonvanilla extractoptional
1tablespoonmatcha powder
75mlwhole milk
400mlheavy cream
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine egg yolks, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and matcha powder.
Add the milk and heat over medium to medium-low heat stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and will leave a thick film on the back of the spoon. Do not let the mixture boil by controlling the heat.
When done, set aside to cool down to room temperature.
Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Add the egg mixture to the whipped cream and whisk until homogeneous in consistency.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, transfer the soft ice cream to a container, close it tightly, and refrigerate further until the ice cream is at desired consistency.
To make no-churn ice cream, transfer the whipped cream and egg yolk mixture into an air-tight container or in a container and close it with plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer. I use a loaf pan and plastic wrap.
After one hour, take the container out, open it, and mix the mixture with a rubber spatula or a spoon. Then, close it and freeze it again. Repeat 2-3 times. Then, you can freeze the ice cream until desired consistency.
