Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 3 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the low-fat milk and sweetened condensed milk. Stir occasionally until the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes, ensuring it does not come to a boil.
Once the milk mixture is warm, add the matcha green tea powder and vanilla extract, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and continue to whisk briskly for another 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency. Remove from heat.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Transfer the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
Once churned, transfer the matcha ice cream to an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula, and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Serve and enjoy your low-fat creamy matcha ice cream as a delightful and healthy dessert!
