Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the almond milk, stirring until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, remaining almond milk, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Once the mixture is warm, whisk in the dissolved cornstarch, matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly to coat the back of a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to a refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture.
To serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer a few minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
