⏱️ Prep: 25 min🍳 Cook: 5 min🍽️ Makes 1
Ingredients
| 2 cups (480 ml) | Half & Half (or 1 cup whole milk + 1 cup heavy whipping cream, butterfat 36-38%) |
| 3 Tbsp (18 g) | matcha (green tea powder) |
| 1/2 cup (about 100 g) | granulated sugar |
| Pinch (about 1/16 tsp) | Kosher salt |
Instructions
Course: Dessert. Servings: 1 Quart.
- Freeze the ice cream bowl for 24 hours. Gather all the ingredients.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the half and half, sugar and salt.
- Start cooking the mixture over medium heat, and add green tea powder. Stir often and cook until the mixture starts to foam and is very hot to the touch but not boiling.
- Remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl sitting in an ice bath. When the mixture is cool, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, transfer to a pre-chilled ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (20-25 minutes). Transfer the soft ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.
Recipe Notes: Half & Half: It is a mix of 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 heavy (whipping) cream. You can purchase it in the dairy section of American supermarkets. Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream contains 36-38% butterfat. It's equivalent to Double Cream in UK.
Equipment you will need: Ice cream maker. If you don't have an ice cream maker, check out this post.
