The recipe for Sugar Free Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream
What you will need to make this
Obviously, you will need Matcha Green Tea Powder- which can be found online. Also, substitutions that you use have an effect on the consistency of your ice cream. Also, the amounts of substituted ingredients should total the recipe amount for what they are being substituted for.
Ingredients needed
- Matcha Green Tea Powder- 1 to 2 tablespoons. The amount you use depends on how much you enjoy this tea. Some folks like this tea while other really love it. Make sure that the lumps have been removed before using this.
- Whole Milk- 1 cup. Alternatives could alter the consistency of the ice cream. However, you can use a half and half or nut-based milk with some fat (avocados can work).
- Heavy Whipping Cream- 1 cup. Can sub in a nut milk with a bit of oil or Greek Yogurt thinned out with a bit of milk added to it.
- Sugar Alternative- equivalent to ¾ cup of sugar. Granular is preferred in this recipe.
- Eggs- 2 whole plus one yolk.
- Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
How to make Sugar Free Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the green tea powder and the milk. The powder should be well blended into the milk.
- Transfer the mixture to a saucepan on medium heat ans stir in the cream. If you start to see bubbling, turn the head down to a low-medium heat. Heat this for about 4-5 minutes to get it warm- stirring to prevent boiling etc.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and the the sugar alternative in a heat proof bowl. We will be making this recipe kind of like a custard. Once the egg mixture has been whisked, slowly add ⅓rd of the mixture from the sauce pan to the egg mixture, stir this and then repeat until the entire contents from the sauce pan have been added to the bowl. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
Continue using these instructions.
- Pour this mixture back into the sauce pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes on low, stirring to prevent bubbling and cooking the eggs .
- Remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool, stirring occasionally. It should take about 15-20 minutes to cool enough to be able to place the mixture into the refrigerator for further cooling.
- Use this in your ice cream maker according to manufacturers instructions.
