Have you ever though of making ice cream at home, but you always let it go, because you don’t have an ice cream machine? If yes, then you must read closely now, because I will show you how to make homemade ice cream form only 3 ingredients and no ice cream machine is needed!

Only 3-ingredients for matcha ice cream

• heavy whipping cream
• sweetened condensed milk
• Matcha Green Tea powder (sifted)

Step 1

Before you start preparing the ice cream, place the loaf pan (where the ice cream will be placed later) into the freezer to chill, or you can do it the night before you decided to make this ice cream. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the large bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment and whip the heavy cream until firm peaks.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, empty 1 can of sweet condensed milk and mix together it together with 4 tsp of Matcha Green Tea powder. If you decide to make the matcha swirls (by the way I do recommend it, because it gives amazing matcha flavour in dept to this ice cream, and you will love it). So take 2 tsp of sweet condensed milk apart and place it in a small cup or bowl. Mix in extra 2 tsp of Matcha green tea powder and set it aside for later use.

Step 3

Fold 1/3 of condensed milk with Matcha in the whipped cream using a spatula. Fold it in gently until it’s nicely combined. Now take the whipped cream and fold it back in the rest of the condensed milk mixture. You may want to do it in slowly by adding only half of the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture. Once it’s combined add the other half.

Step 4

Remove the loaf pan from the freezer and transfer the whipped cream into the loaf pan. Tap on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.

Step 5 (optional)

If you are using Matcha green tea swirls, use previously reserved Matcha mixture and drizzle it over the whipped cream. Use end of the spoon to make the swirls.

Step 7

Cover with plastic food wrap and secure with elastic. Place into the freezer for 6 hours or overnight. Scoop and serve! I would say now you are ready to start this simple recipe for no churn Matcha ice cream, don’t wait any longer, because ice cream needs to be frozen for good 6 hours to have a perfect consistency to scoop it onto your favourite bowl or waffle cone.

Useful tips how to prepare no-churn ice cream

• Whipped cream needs to be mega cold! Keep your whipped cream in the refrigerator until you are really ready to use it. The whipped cream will be fluffier and will whip easily when extra cold. You can also make an extra step, by refrigerating the bowl and whisk attachment for 30 minutes, before whipping the cream.
• Matcha powder is not easy to mix with cold liquids. So I suggest sifting matcha powder first in a bit of condensed milk and then add it to the whipped ice cream. If you sift the matcha directly into the cold whipped cream, the matcha powder will create lumps inside the cream, and you won’t be able to blend it in.
• At the end, I have created these little dark matcha powder intense swirls. It is optional in this recipe, but it looks so mesmerizing, right? So I strongly suggest making these to give a wow effect. Especially if you like the intense flavour of matcha.
• How to make the intense swirls? Simply reserve 2 tsp of condensed milk & 1-2 tsp of matcha powder and at the last step once the whipped cream is in the loaf pan container, you drizzle over the top the matcha condensed milk mixture. Then take a spoon and make these mesmerizing swirls.

What kind of match green tea powder to use

This is a great question to ask. When it comes to making ice cream, baking or making smoothie, you don’t need to use the highest grade of matcha powder. You can buy the cooking grade matcha powder. The highest grades of matcha powders or ceremonial matcha are very expensive and are used especially for drinking matcha tea, where you are using only the powder and the water to have the best experience of matcha tea.

These ceremonial mixes are the highest grade of matcha powder and the difference is in taste and colour. Ceremonial matcha powders are often less bitter and have very pronounces green colour. I have used this matcha powder, to make this ice cream recipe.
