Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and almond milk. Warm over medium heat until you see steam rising and small bubbles forming around the edge, but not boiling.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the erythritol, matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and salt until fully dissolved and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until very cold.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Depending on your ice cream maker, this could take around 15-20 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and let it firm up in the freezer for at least 2 more hours before serving.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make scooping easier.
