Matcha White Chocolate Ice Cream
Adapted from Kuidaore
Makes about 1 liter
- 1 cups heavy cream
- 1 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 8 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder, sifted
Equipment: Ice cream maker + frozen insert, strainer (chinois)
- In a medium heavy saucepan, bring the cream, milk, sugar, and salt to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly.
- While whisking eggs pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture in a thin, steady stream in the bowl of eggs. This should temper the eggs. Now pour the tempered eggs in the rest of the saucepan with the hot cream mixture, in a thin, steady stream while whisking the hot cream.
- Cook over low heat, constantly stirring, just until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Do not let this mixture boil. Pour this mixture through a strainer.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring at 30-second intervals until chocolate is melted. Add the matcha powder to the chocolate and stir vigorously with a whisk to mix well. Add this to the strained hot cream and stir to blend. Cool this mixture and refrigerate until chilled.
- Freeze according to the instructions for your ice cream machine.
