If you love matcha green tea, you will love this homemade ice cream recipe. It is easy to make, creamy, and full of intense matcha flavor. You only need a few simple ingredients and an ice cream maker to enjoy this refreshing treat. Trust me, it is worth the wait!

I have always been a fan of matcha green tea. I drink it every morning to start my day and also love matcha desserts, especially ice cream. But I have never been satisfied with the store-bought ones. They are either too sweet, too milky, or too artificial. They don’t capture the true essence of matcha.

That’s why I decided to make my own matcha green tea ice cream at home. I followed this recipe that I found online and I was amazed by the result. It was the best matcha ice cream I have ever tasted!

The recipe is very simple and straightforward. You just need to whisk some matcha powder with milk, heat some cream and sugar, whisk some eggs, and cook everything together until thick and smooth. Then you chill the custard in the fridge and churn it in the ice cream maker. That’s it!

The most important thing is to use good quality matcha powder. Don’t skimp on this ingredient. You want to use pure matcha powder that is bright green and finely ground. It should have a rich and earthy aroma and taste slightly bitter and sweet.

The matcha powder gives the ice cream a beautiful green color and a deep flavor. You can adjust the amount of matcha powder according to your preference. I like mine strong, so I used 2 tablespoons of matcha powder. But you can use less or more depending on how much you like matcha.

The ice cream is creamy and smooth, with a slight crunch from the matcha powder. It is not too sweet or too heavy, its just right. It melts in your mouth and leaves a refreshing aftertaste.

I like to eat my matcha ice cream plain, but you can also add some toppings if you want. Some whipped cream, red bean paste, or chocolate shavings would go well with it. You can also serve it with some cake or cookies for a complete dessert.

This matcha green tea ice cream recipe is perfect for any occasion. You can make it for yourself as a treat, or share it with your friends and family as a gift. It is also great for hot summer days when you need something cool and refreshing.

If you are looking for a delicious and easy way to enjoy matcha green tea, you should definitely try this recipe. You will not regret it. It is one of the best things I have ever made in my kitchen.

Steps

1 Done 5 min	Whisk matcha powder and milk In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a splash of milk until it is completely dissolved and no lumps remain. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk until well combined.
2 Done 15 min	Cook custard In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream and the matcha mixture. Stir occasionally until the mixture is hot but not boiling. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and egg yolks together until pale and fluffy. Slowly pour about half a cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Repeat with another half a cup of the cream mixture, then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Do not let it boil or it will curdle.
3 Done 10 min	Cool and chill custard Remove the custard from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Let it cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
4 Done 240 min	Freeze the Ice Cream When your ice cream maker bowl is ready to use, whisk the custard one last time. Transfer it to the ice cream maker bowl and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 25 minutes or until thick and creamy. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
