Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder (high-quality)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 large egg yolks

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, without boiling.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale and thickened.
  • Slowly pour half of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking to temper the eggs.
  • Gradually pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining warm milk mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Sift matcha powder into the custard and whisk until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Allow the custard to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk or almond milk, and use an egg substitute like cornstarch or flax eggs.
  • You can customize your ice cream by adding chocolate chips or swirls of sweetened condensed milk for a twist on the flavor.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the custard in a shallow dish and stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up the ice crystals.
