Matcha No Churn Ice Cream

*Please note* this post was originally published in 2018. The post text has been re-written but the recipe remains the same!

You can’t be that surprised that I snuck in one more green recipe before St. Patty’s, right?! I’ve been thinking about this recipe for quite a while now, but I had yet to try it until a few weeks ago.

I wish I had known about the glory of this no churn matcha ice cream recipe earlier, as I can distinctly remember a few times that I was craving green tea ice cream in a big way; I actually even posted about it in one of my 10 Thoughts last year.  Last year I also ended up borrowing my in-laws’ ice cream maker and making some that way, but it was quite a bit of effort and time.

The first time I tried green tea ice cream was in Japan, waaaaay back in 2011. I was hooked! It’s so good. While always a big fan of green tea, I had never tried mixing that flavor into anything sweet.

Matcha No Churn Ice Cream

Is this no churn matcha ice cream recipe easy to make?

If you like that sweet, green tea flavour, you’ll love this ice cream. This recipe is so easy it’s almost embarrassing! It’s actually only three ingredients. THREE! Plus, you can make the matcha flavour as strong as you’d like, simply by adding more or less matcha powder to the base.

Where can you find matcha powder?

I buy my matcha powder at Bulk Barn (dangerous place), but you can also find it at most specialty tea shops. I’ve also bought it on Amazon. There are a few different types of matcha powder, and I can’t claim to know what the difference between all of them is. This might be a good question for that employee at the speciality tea shop!?

I’ve also seen a big tin of matcha powder at the Costco here in Calgary but I haven’t purchased it myself.

Matcha No Churn Ice Cream

This no churn ice cream consists of the same 2 ingredients as most of my other no churns; heavy whipping cream and condensed milk. The matcha powder gets added into the whipping cream prior to whipping it, and then the condensed milk is folded into the mixture. That’s it!

How long do you have to freeze the green tea ice cream for?

Once you’ve mixed everything together, you’ll have to freeze for 5-6 hours and all of this green tea ice cream can be yours 🙂 It’s tricky waiting around for it, but TRUST ME it’s worth the wait!

I mentioned in my post yesterday that we’re going out for St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow – although a large part of me wants to just sit at home on the couch and eat some of this ice cream, I’m sure I’ll be glad I made it out once I get there!

Here’s to you celebrating the day of green in your own special way. Happy weekend!
