Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the low-fat milk and granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves but do not bring to a boil.
Step 3
Add the cornstarch slurry to the milk-sugar mixture, stirring well. Continue to cook and stir for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and matcha green tea powder, whisking until fully incorporated and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a large bowl, whisk the non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth. Gradually add the warm matcha mixture to the yogurt, whisking continuously until well combined.
Step 6
Once the mixture is smooth, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
Step 7
After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 8
Serve immediately for soft-serve texture, or freeze in an airtight container for a firmer ice cream, allowing it to soften slightly before serving.
