Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 0 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes (plus freezing time)
- Servings: 4
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
- 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Additional matcha powder for garnish
Instructions
- Add the frozen banana slices to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until the bananas are crumbly and starting to get creamy. This may take a couple of minutes.
- Add the matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
- Continue blending until the mixture is smooth and reaches a creamy consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender occasionally.
- Scoop the nice cream into a bowl and smooth the top.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder and fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and aroma.
- Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer texture.
Helpful Tips
- If the matcha flavor is too strong, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon, or add more banana to balance the flavor.
- For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of coconut cream.
- Avoid over-blending to prevent the mixture from becoming too liquid. You can always freeze again if it softens too much.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover nice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- If it’s too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- For substitutions, use agave syrup instead of vanilla extract for a different natural sweetener.
Pairings
- Complement your Matcha Green Tea Nice Cream with a glass of cold matcha latte or a jasmine green tea.
- Fresh fruit salad with berries and melons makes a perfect side.
