Green Tea Coconut Milk Ice Cream Tips
Using more matcha powder (up to 4 tbsp) will result in a stronger green tea flavor. Using too much powder will cause the ice cream to become more powdery and less palatable.
To help aid your ice cream machine, place the green tea coconut milk ice cream mixture in the freezer 30 minutes prior to placing it in your ice cream machine. Stir the mixture after you take it out of the freezer to ensure a fluid consistency.
Temper your egg yolks slowly, adding ⅓ cup of the hot mixture at a time, so that you don’t scramble your egg yolks.
You can substitute all coconut milk for coconut cream or vice versa depending on how rich you want the end product to be.
