How To Make Matcha Ice Cream (Green Tea Ice Cream)

As you know, Matcha powder is quite versatile and used in various desserts, such as baked confectionaries, whipped cream, puddings, and, of course, Wagashi. Among these, one of the most popular ones must be Matcha ice cream.

In Japan, Matcha ice cream is so popular that you can find it at ice cream shops, supermarkets, and convenience stores. As with other foods, the texture and taste of Matcha ice cream vary depending on the product, so it would be interesting to compare different Matcha ice cream products when you visit Japan. Overall, the bitterness of Matcha adds a twist to the sweetness of the ice cream, and the elegant flavor of Matcha spreads in your mouth.

We are going to introduce our Matcha ice cream recipe using an ice cream maker. It is totally convenient, and you should have one at home if you are an ice cream lover. All you have to do is mix the ingredients beforehand, pour them into the ice cream maker, and wait for the Matcha ice cream to be ready.

While there are plenty of choices for Matcha ice cream available, one advantage of making it at home is that you can adjust the amount of ingredients to your liking. If you prefer a stronger Matcha flavor, you can add more Matcha powder. For a lighter texture, you can use less heavy cream and more milk.

It is important to note that the Matcha powder in our recipe (J Taste Multipurpose Matcha Powder) already contains sugar, so if you are using pure Matcha powder, you’ll need to adjust the amounts of Matcha powder and sugar to suit your taste.

Feel free to experiment with making Matcha ice cream at home and enjoy your personalized creation!
