We’ve taken your favorite creamy, perfectly sweet matcha latte and turned it into cleanse-approved ice cream. The base is made of avocados, and the result is incredibly decadent and satisfying. Keep a big batch of matcha ice cream in your freezer for those times when you’re craving dessert!

HOMEMADE MATCHA ICE CREAM

In addition to sipping matcha in its pure form, it’s an excellent addition to baked goods, smoothies, and desserts like this ice cream. Matcha has been touted for its positive impact on metabolism, decreasing anxiety, and improving mood and focus. 

Ingredients:

5 ripe avocados

2.5 cups full-fat, canned coconut milk

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4- 1/2 cup coconut palm nectar (or maple syrup, if not cleansing)

3-4 teaspoons matcha

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions: 

Step 1: Remove skin and pits from avocados. Juice lemons. 

Step 2: Add all ingredients to a food processor. Blend on high until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If the mixture is too thick to fully blend, add one tablespoon of filtered water until it blends properly. Taste the mixture as you go to determine appropriate nectar and matcha amounts for your tastes. 

Step 3: Pour mixture into a glass loaf pan. Cover and put in the freezer for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Remove matcha ice cream from the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving to allow to soften.
