Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Matcha powder
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Egg yolks
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, and matcha powder. Whisk together until the matcha powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is heated through but not boiling.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener until well combined and slightly thickened.
Step 3
Slowly pour about 1 cup of the warm matcha mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Step 4
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining matcha mixture. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 4-5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate until completely chilled, approximately 2 hours or overnight.
Step 7
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 8
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours to harden before serving.
Step 9
Serve the sugar-free creamy matcha ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy this delightful guilt-free treat!
