For a more intense matcha flavor, use culinary grade matcha powder. Adjust the amount of matcha to your preference. Tempering the eggs properly is crucial to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth, creamy texture. Whisk vigorously and add the hot liquid gradually. Chilling the mixture thoroughly is essential for optimal freezing and a smoother ice cream texture. Don't skip this step! If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream using the 'no-churn' method. Simply whisk the chilled mixture every 30 minutes during the freezing process to prevent ice crystals from forming.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients.
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk the matcha powder meticulously to eliminate any clumps. Add a splash of milk, whisking until the matcha is completely dissolved, forming a smooth, vibrant green paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
03
StepTransfer the matcha mixture to a saucepan. Add the heavy cream and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until the mixture is heated through and slightly steamy. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and frothy. Gradually temper the egg mixture by pouring about 1/2 cup of the hot matcha mixture into the egg mixture, whisking vigorously and continuously to prevent curdling. Repeat with the remaining matcha mixture until fully incorporated. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)
05
StepPour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spatula. Be careful not to boil. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)
06
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat and immediately pour the matcha custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. This will ensure a silky smooth texture. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. (Estimated time: 20 minutes)
07
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent skin formation. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
08
StepPour the chilled matcha mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. (Estimated time: 20 minutes)
09
StepFor a firmer ice cream, transfer the soft-serve ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until desired consistency is achieved. Serve and savor the exquisite taste of homemade Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream.
