Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 3 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the low-fat milk and sweetened condensed milk. Stir occasionally until the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes, ensuring it does not come to a boil.
Step 3
Once the milk mixture is warm, add the matcha green tea powder and vanilla extract, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
Step 4
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and continue to whisk briskly for another 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 6
Transfer the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
Step 7
Once churned, transfer the matcha ice cream to an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula, and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy your low-fat creamy matcha ice cream as a delightful and healthy dessert!
