Temperatures have been rising lately, putting me in the mood for some refreshing ice cream! What’s great about making this treat at home is: you do not need an ice cream maker! The only appliance necessary is a hand mixer, alternatively a standing mixer or your hands + a whisk! As if that is not pleasant to the ear already, my ice cream recipe only requires 3-4 ingredients 😮!! You can certainly incorporate children-friendly flavors, but I am selfishly thinking about satisfying my own taste buds this time, making one of my favorite flavors MATCHA GREEN TEA!
I used to pay big bucks for cartons of green tea ice cream from the Asian supermarket (have you heard of Maeda?). While I understand the amount of work that goes into processing quality grade matcha, homemade matcha ice cream using ceremonial grade matcha (finest quality) doesn’t need to break the bank!! So if you’re a fan, try out my recipe below and tag me @rackoflam on social media if you’ve made it!
Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream (3 Ingredients, No Churn) Recipe
Equipment
- Standing mixer or hand mixer
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 12 oz sweetened condensed milk, or to taste
- 2½ tbsp matcha green tea powder
- ⅛ tsp sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Pour condensed milk into a bowl.
- Lay a mesh sieve onto the bowl. In batches, sift the matcha green tea powder onto the condensed milk and stir until homogenous. Set the mixture aside.
- Place heavy whipping cream and salt (if using) into a mixing bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. You may use a standing mixer or hand mixer.
- Gently fold the matcha condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until blended.
- Transfer the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or container of choice, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours (or longer/overnight for harder ice cream). Enjoy!
