Easy Matcha Latte Ice Cream Recipe

By Joyce Zacharewicz

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Chill Time: 4 hours

Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

4 cups half-and-half or light cream
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoons vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons matcha powder

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together half and half and condensed milk.
Sift matcha powder into the mixture and continue whisking until well combined. We recommend to start off with 2-3 tablespoons, but if you like stronger taste of matcha, feel free to use more. The more matcha you use, the more vibrant green and more astringency will come through.
Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Notes

In Shizuoka and Tokyo, there’s an ice cream shop called Nanaya where they have 7 levels of matcha ice cream that you can choose from. The numbers 1 to 7 being an ascending scale of flavor intensity with number 1 being the mildest and the infamous number 7 is the boldest and bitterest flavor. We settled at level 5 as our favorite, as the tea was getting very strong and bitter at level 6 and 7. If you get a chance to visit Japan, we highly recommend you to give this place a try! Until then, do not be afraid to experiment making your own matcha ice cream using the above recipe with more and more matcha each time.
