Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix matcha powder in hot water (ie boil the kettle and let stand for 5 minutes) in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Note: You'll need 1 tbsp hot water for every 1 tbsp of matcha powder. Add in the salt and whisk again until dissolved. Pour in the condensed milk and stir until evenly mixed.
    400 ml condensed milk, 4 tbsp matcha green tea powder, 1 pinch salt
  • In a large mixing bowl, whip the thickened cream until light and fluffy, around 3 minutes.
    400 ml thickened cream / heavy cream
  • Fold the matcha condensed milk into the cream and stir with a spatula until mixed through.
  • Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container or glass dish and smooth out the top. Cover with an airtight lid and place into the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours.

Notes

  • Flavour Intensity - If you’re new to matcha flavour, you might like to start with just 2 tbsp of matcha powder. Increase to 6 tbsp if you’re a matcha lover like us!
  • Freezing - Cover your container with an airtight lid or seal tightly with cling film to create a good seal to avoid the ice cream becoming icy. In addition, you can also cover it with a tea towel to protect it from moist air in your freezer and reduce the formation of ice on the top.
  • Add Extras - Stir through white or dark chocolate chips / chocolate shavings, crushed pistachios or macadamias, or mashed red beans to amp up your ice cream.
