Green Tea Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe
Description
The Green Tea Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe uses two cans of full-fat coconut milk combined with matcha powder and maple syrup as the sweetener. The mixture is blended until the matcha is fully dissolved for a uniform green color and flavor. The base can be gently heated to help incorporate the matcha but must be chilled well before freezing.
Churning in an ice cream maker for 30 to 40 minutes develops a thick, creamy texture without dairy. The ice cream can be enjoyed immediately as a soft serve or frozen until firm for traditional scooping. The ice cream’s flavor can be adjusted by varying the amount of matcha powder to preference—from mild to intense green tea notes.
This recipe provides a vegan alternative to classic ice cream, suitable for those who prefer coconut flavors or dairy-free desserts. It pairs well with light desserts or enjoyed alone as a refreshing treat.
Ingredients
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans coconut milk full-fat
- 1 Tbsp matcha green tea powder to taste see note*
- ½ cup pure maple syrup see note**
- pinch salt sea salt
Instructions
- Freeze the bowl of your ice cream maker overnight. Or, follow the instructions according to the manufacturer prior to following the recipe, as needed.
- Add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until all the matcha chunks have dissolved (Note: If you have trouble getting the matcha to dissolve, you can heat the mixture on the stove top and whisk until combined. Be sure you refrigerate the mixture until completely cold before proceeding).
- Pour the green tea ice cream base into your ice cream maker, following your ice cream maker's instructions. My ice cream maker requires me to freeze the bowl overnight before use. Allow the ice cream to churn until very thick, about 30 to 40 minutes. Either enjoy the ice cream like soft serve straight out of the ice cream maker, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze 2 to 3 hours, until completely frozen.
- When ready to eat, thaw the ice cream for 10 to 15 minutes, or until softened. Serve heaping scoops and enjoy!
Notes
- Start with 1 tablespoon of matcha powder if you are new to its flavor; increase to 2 tablespoons for a deeper taste.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with natural sweeteners like agave, honey, or coconut palm syrup.
