Notes
Expert Tips
- If you don’t have a blender, you can pour the ice cream mixture into a food processor and process it that way.
- I recommend using thicker milk like coconut milk for the best texture. Other plant based milk like almond milk will work in a pinch, but I love the creamy texture of coconut milk or coconut cream.
Serving Tips
- For best results, serve this creamy green tea ice cream plain or with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
Storage Tips
- Store in a freezer-safe, airtight container. Scoop straight from frozen when ready to eat and top with your favorite ice cream toppings.
