Green Tea Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe

This Green Tea Coconut Milk Ice Cream blends full-fat coconut milk with matcha green tea powder and maple syrup to create a creamy, dairy-free frozen dessert. The matcha provides an earthy, slightly bitter flavor balanced by the natural sweetness of maple syrup. Churning in an ice cream maker yields a smooth texture that can be eaten soft or frozen firm.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Freeze the bowl of your ice cream maker overnight. Or, follow the instructions according to the manufacturer prior to following the recipe, as needed.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
