5. Meanwhile, prepare the Whipped Coconut Cream: Add the chilled Coconut Cream to a previously chilled metal bowl and place it in a larger bowl containing ice. Whip the cream (using an electric whisk) till foamy. Add the icing sugar and continue beating till stiff peaks form.
6. Remove the Matcha Coconut Ice Cream Base from the freezer and fold in the whipped cream.  You can use the electric whisk again to fold it in quickly but do not overwhip it.

8. Place at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, before scooping. Enjoy this earthy, tropical refreshing treat on hot summer days for an instant pick-me-up!

Matcha Coconut Ice Cream (Vegan)

 

Notes:

• Both canned coconut milk (unsweetened) and carton coconut cream are used in this recipe. For a milder flavor of coconut, you could switch the canned coconut cream for evaporated milk
• Use good quality Japanese green tea powder. Each powder is different in color and flavor.
• The coconut cream must be chilled stiff for easy whipping. In warmer climates, it is best to also freeze the bowl for whipping and the wire whisk before you start whipping. Place the whipped cream in the fridge till you are ready to fold it into the ice cream base. Whipped coconut cream will melt if kept at room temperature for an extended time.

Key Ingredients: Coconut Milk, Coconut Cream, Matcha Green Tea, Maple Syrup, Vanilla extract, icing sugar.
