Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 120 ml Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the matcha green tea powder with maple syrup until well combined and no lumps remain.
Add the full-fat coconut milk, coconut cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the matcha mixture.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a saucepan and gently heat over medium-low heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Ensure that the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until completely cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, generally around 20-25 minutes until the mixture thickens to a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Serve in bowls or on cones for a delicious vegan treat.
