Description

This Green Tea Coconut Milk Ice Cream recipe combines the earthy bitterness of matcha green tea powder with the creamy richness of full-fat coconut milk and the natural sweetness of pure maple syrup. It’s a delightful dairy-free and vegan frozen dessert that’s perfect for cooling off on warm days or any time you crave a refreshing treat. Easy to prepare with an ice cream maker, this recipe yields a smooth, creamy texture and vibrant green color, offering a unique twist on classic ice cream.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp matcha green tea powder (adjust to taste)
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Freeze the ice cream maker bowl: Place the bowl of your ice cream maker in the freezer overnight to ensure it is thoroughly frozen before making the ice cream. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions if they differ.
  2. Blend the ingredients: Add the coconut milk, matcha green tea powder, maple syrup, and sea salt to a high-powered blender. Blend until the matcha powder is fully dissolved with no lumps remaining. If dissolving the matcha proves difficult, warm the mixture gently on the stovetop while whisking until smooth, then refrigerate until completely cold before proceeding.
  3. Churn the ice cream: Pour the green tea coconut milk mixture into the ice cream maker bowl and churn according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. This typically takes about 30 to 40 minutes, resulting in a thick, soft serve consistency.
  4. Freeze until firm (optional): For a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 to 3 hours until completely solid.
  5. Serve: When ready to enjoy, allow the ice cream to thaw at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes until softened for easy scooping. Serve heaping scoops and savor the creamy, refreshing green tea flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust matcha powder quantity based on your preferred intensity of green tea flavor—start with 1 tablespoon and increase if desired.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with another liquid sweetener of choice, such as agave nectar or honey (note honey is not vegan).
  • Be sure to chill the blended mixture thoroughly before churning to ensure the best ice cream texture.
  • Full-fat coconut milk provides creaminess and richness; light coconut milk may result in a less creamy texture.
