Matcha Ice Cream (No Machine)

Matcha Ice Cream (No Machine) brings together the distinct, earthy flavor of matcha green tea powder with the creamy texture of whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk. The process involves whipping cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, adding the condensed milk for sweetness and volume, and incorporating vanilla and matcha powder for flavor. The mixture is then transferred to a freezer-safe container and frozen for at least six hours to set.

The ice cream’s texture is light but still creamy due to the whipped cream base, and it avoids the need for an ice cream machine, making it accessible for home cooks. The bold, slightly bitter matcha balances the sweetness, creating a harmonious flavor profile.

This frozen dessert can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fruit or baked goods. It is best stored in an airtight container in the freezer and will maintain quality for up to six weeks.
