Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and almond milk. Warm over medium heat until you see steam rising and small bubbles forming around the edge, but not boiling.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the erythritol, matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and salt until fully dissolved and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until very cold.
Step 4
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 5
Churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Depending on your ice cream maker, this could take around 15-20 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and let it firm up in the freezer for at least 2 more hours before serving.
Step 7
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make scooping easier.
