Coconut Milk Matcha Ice Cream

This super creamy dairy-free coconut milk ice cream is flavored with the pure, perfect flavor of matcha. Naturally sweetened and so dreamy. 
Servings: 4 servings
Author: Kathy Patalsky

Ingredients

  • 1 can of coconut milk (full fat) - chilled overnight in the fridge
  • ½ cup soy or almond milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • ¼ cup liquid sweetener (try maple syrup, agave syrup or apple-based 'honey')
  • optional: ¼ teaspoon vanilla or mint extract
  • ⅛-1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 teaspoon Encha Organic Matcha (culinary grade)

Instructions

  • Prep: The day before, make sure your coconut milk can is placed in the fridge. Also make sure your ice cream maker container is in the freezer as well as a container for the ice cream once it is made. A small stainless steal or freezer-friendly bowl or large dish works well.
  • Open your chilled can of coconut milk. Scoop out the hardened cream part and add all of the cream to a blender. Pour most of the leftover watery liquid into the blender as well, but omit about 2-3 tablespoon of it.
  • Also add to the blender: frozen banana, sweetener, non-dairy milk, salt and optional extract. Cover with lid and blend from low to high until smooth. Add in 2 teaspoon matcha, blend. Add the next two teaspoon to taste -- if you like a lighter matcha flavor and color, use less that 4 tsp. For bold flavor and color add the full 4 teaspoon or add more to taste!
  • Place your fully chilled container on the base of your ice cream maker. Turn on. Pour the matcha coconut liquid into the machine. Allow the machine to churn for about 20 minutes, or until the ice cream firms up and churns more slowly or not at all.
  • Scoop the churned ice cream into your pre-chilled freezer-friendly bowl or container. I used a stainless steel container.
  • Place the ice cream in the freezer to chill at least 30 minutes before scooping and serving. If storing overnight, cover ice cream and chill in freezer. When serving, be sure to allow at least ten minutes for the ice cream to warm and soften before serving.
