Creamy, eggless ice cream that marries earthy matcha with silky white chocolate for a scoop that’s both vibrant and luxurious, adapted from CuisineFiend’s 2023 recipe. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Ingredients

Scale
  • 80 g whole milk
  • 420 g double cream
  • 200 g white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp matcha green-tea powder

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk and cream until tiny bubbles form around the edge (about 90 °C/194 °F); remove from heat.
  2. Soften the chopped white chocolate in the microwave on low power, then stir in the matcha powder to form a smooth paste.
  3. Whisk the matcha-chocolate paste into the hot dairy base until fully combined; strain through a fine sieve.
  4. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours) until thoroughly cold.
  5. Churn in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until softly frozen.
  6. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, press parchment onto the surface, and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
  7. Let stand at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality culinary-grade matcha for the best color and flavor.
  • No extra sugar is needed—the white chocolate sweetens the base.
  • If you lack an ice-cream maker, freeze in a shallow dish and whisk every 30 minutes until smooth.
  • For a lighter texture, replace half the cream with whole milk—but expect a firmer set.
