Matcha Bingsu (Green Tea Shaved Ice Dessert)
Matcha Bingsu is a delicate shaved ice dessert featuring ice infused with green tea powder, topped with chewy dango dumplings, sweet adzuki beans, and a drizzle of condensed milk. The dessert offers a refreshing texture and a mildly bitter, earthy matcha flavor balanced by the sweetness of the toppings and milk.
Ingredients
Matcha ice:
- ¾ C water cooled to 80°C/176°F
- 1-2 teaspoon matcha powder to your taste
Toppings:

Instructions
Make the matcha ice block:
- Add matcha powder to a glass/jar/bowl.
- Pour the cooled boiled water over the matcha.
- Whisk the matcha until frothed.
- Let it cool.
- Transfer the cooled matcha to a freezer-safe container or ice molds (I used the molds that the ice shaver came with) and freeze until solid.
Shave the ice:
- Remove the frozen matcha block and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Place the matcha ice block into the ice shaver.
- Shave the matcha ice into a chilled bowl, according to the ice shaver manufacturer's directions.
- Serve immediately with your choice of toppings and condensed milk.
