Description

A unique twist on classic green tea ice cream, this version uses Genmaicha for a lightly green, creamy, and refreshing dessert with hints of toasted brown rice.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream (480 ml)
  • 1 cup Whole Milk (240 ml)
  • 6 Egg Yolks
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar (300 ml)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup Genmaicha (to taste) (60-120 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (5 ml)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over low heat until warm, but not boiling.
  2. While the cream and milk are heating, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and pale in color.
  3. Once the cream and milk mixture is warm, slowly pour a small amount into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling.
  4. Gradually add the rest of the cream and milk mixture to the egg yolks, continuing to whisk until fully combined.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the Genmaicha and vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill completely.
  8. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  9. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.

Notes

Genmaicha is a blend of green tea and toasted brown rice, which adds a unique flavor to the ice cream. If you can’t find Genmaicha, you can substitute with matcha powder, but the flavor will be different. Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Serve as a refreshing end to a meal or a unique treat on a warm day.
