Matcha ice cream


Winter is nearly over and can't wait for it to begin again lol 

I don't enjoy summer as much as the colder months but warmer temperature makes life a bit easier , like making bread for example , you don't have to wait for several hours when proofing and homemade ice cream , of course ! 

I've got some egg yolks from the matcha financiers that I baked last week and was reserving those to make strawberry ice cream . US and Korean strawberries are cheap right now , well , in some supermarket , but I'm still matcha-crazy so .....

This is a custard-based ice cream , milk , egg yolks , sugar and matcha powder is cooked slowly until it thickens , cooled , whipped cream is added then churn in an ice cream maker . You can serve it right away after churning , it looks and tastes just like a soft serve ice cream . Unlike most ice cream recipe out there , this one has more milk than cream . Note that the recipe below only makes about 480 ml or 1 pint , if you want to double it , use 5 yolks .

It's my smoothest , creamiest homemade ice cream yet with a delighful matcha taste .


Recipe adapted from Okashi

200 grams fresh whole milk ( I used UHT whole milk
3 large egg yolks
80 grams caster sugar ( 90 grams )
10 grams green tea powder ( Uji matcha )
100 grams whipping cream with 35 % fat

* Heat milk in a small saucepan almost to the boiling point then remove from heat and set aside .

* In a mixing bowl , beat or whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow in color , add in matcha powder and mix well .

* Add warm milk and mix well . Return mixture in the same saucepan and heat very gently , stirring constantly , until thickens ( 10-15 minutes )

* Transfer custard into a mixing bowl , place bowl in a larger bowl half-filled with ice water to cool .

* In a chilled bowl , whip cream until stiff peaks form . Add whipped cream to the cooled custard and fold through . Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker and churn for 20-30 minutes .

* Serve immediately , if desired or transfer to a freezer-proof container and freeze for 4 hours . Ice cream is easily scoopable straight from the freezer .
