Green Tea Ice Cream Recipe

Japanese · Dessert · 15 min total

A creamy, subtly sweet ice cream infused with the earthy flavor of matcha green tea powder. This no-churn recipe is easy to make at home without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain.
2. In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the matcha mixture in three additions, until fully combined and uniform in color.
4. Pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
5. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. Scoop and serve.

Tips

• For best flavor, use high-quality culinary-grade matcha powder.
• Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
