Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the almond milk, stirring until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, remaining almond milk, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Once the mixture is warm, whisk in the dissolved cornstarch, matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Step 4
Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly to coat the back of a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to a refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 7
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture.
Step 8
To serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer a few minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
