Preparation time
20min
Ingredients
6 Servings
- 4 egg yolks
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 480 ml heavy cream
- 2 tbsp matcha powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 240 ml whole milk
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and a small amount of hot milk mixture until smooth. Add this back into the saucepan and mix well.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Step 4
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in the heavy cream.
Step 6
Cool the mixture to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 7
Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 8
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
