This simple and easy 3-ingredient paleo matcha ice cream is so delicious and creamy, you’ll never guess that’s dairy free and vegan!
So…. the June Gloom in LA is REAL, guys. If you’ve never heard of it before, it’s when the weather is overcast and chilly during late spring/early summer in southern California. AND IT’S DEPRESSING. I know, I know… I’m living in a place where it’s sunny and beautiful most of the year so I shouldn’t complain, but I did NOT expect this. Nothing like a delicious ice cream to brighten up the mood though, right?

3-Ingredient Paleo Matcha Ice Cream Recipe
I haven’t had ice cream in forever, and it’s mostly because I just stopped eating sweets. Not only do I prefer salty foods in general, I still am dealing with candida symptoms especially when I’m under a lot of stress. However, this paleo matcha ice cream? It contains only clean, good-for-you ingredients that don’t give me any of the blood sugar symptoms or digestive issues. It’s just the gosh darn best!
I love the fact that this paleo matcha ice cream literally takes 3 ingredients to make and you don’t even need an ice cream maker. Also, it tastes AMAZING. I first had matcha ice cream when I was visiting Seoul, Korea in the summer back in middle school. The thought of green tea for ice cream seemed a bit strange to me, but once I tasted it, I was obsessed. The slightly bitter and smooth taste of matcha was so perfect with the sweet creaminess added to it.
So ever since I found out I’m intolerant to dairy (which seems like bajillion years ago), I’ve been eyeing every matcha ice cream I’ve come across with sadness because it really is one of my favorite ice cream flavors. And the fact that I can now enjoy it at home SO EASILY just in time for the summer brings me so much joy!

I love the simple ingredients! This would make a great afternoon snack/pick me up! Thanks!
I’m the same way about having more of a salty tooth, rather than a sweet tooth! And this ice cream sounds amaaaaazing. I’m wondering though – are you sensitive to caffeine? Because I know many people eat ice cream at night, but if they’re sensitive to caffeine, do you think this would keep them awake? thanks!!
I’m pretty sensitive to caffeine, so I don’t drink coffee in the afternoon. But matcha doesn’t have that same jolt for me. I can have a small serving of this ice cream and still sleep. If you are super sensitive though, I would just have it earlier in the day!
I love a 3-ingredient recipe, especially when one is matcha 😉 Yum!! Sounds so energising and delicious.
Oh man, I think I might make this tonight after dinner! Looks so creamy and delicious and I’m like you – ever since I realized that dairy and I weren’t friends I have been sad about not getting to have matcha ice cream. I am not a sushi fan but would always “tough it out” in the pre-dairy-free days because I knew at the end I’d get some matcha ice cream, ha!
This looks SO good! And beautiful.
I love making banana based ice creams, but I have yet to try out matcha – thanks for the delicious looking recipe!
Love matcha ice cream and this version looks so creamy and delicious !!
3 ingredients- I love it! It looks so creamy and smooth! Yum!
I love that color, so beautiful! I have yet to have matcha, but THIS is the way that I want to try it. I love homemade ice cream and can’t wait to try some.
So fresh and so clean… just how I like my icecream 🙂
I don’t know if there is a way that this could get any better!
I have all three ingredients, and it won’t spike my blood sugar? I’m in!
This looks incredible!! Would never think to make a matcha ice cream, thanks for the adventure…
This is so beautiful – what a great recipe! Could really do with a bowl of this right now! 🙂
What a beautifully vibrant hue!
What are the nutritionals on this?
Hi there, I don’t put nutritional info for my recipes, and I’m actually not sure about it. I’m all about supporting eating in tune with what you are body is craving and needing so I do not count calories or macronutrients. If you are curious, you can use apps like MyFitnessPal to input each ingredient. Hope that helps!
I LOVE Matcha and this is so simple! You know I’m going to make this tonight.
