Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk and almond milk over medium heat until well combined.
Add the granulated sugar and salt to the saucepan, whisking until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a small bowl, create a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the warm milk mixture. Stir until smooth.
Slowly pour the slurry back into the saucepan while continuously whisking to prevent any lumps.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the matcha green tea powder and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Then, cover it with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Then, scoop and enjoy your creamy, dairy-free matcha ice cream.
