Equipment

Medium-sized mixing bowl
Whisk
Plastic wrap
Ice cream maker
Freezer-safe container

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream 16 fl oz / 475 ml
1 cup unsweetened almond milk 8 fl oz / 237 ml
⅓ cup powdered erythritol 2.8 oz / 80 g
2 tbsp matcha green tea powder 0.5 oz / 14 g
1 tsp pure vanilla extract 5 ml
¼ tsp xanthan gum 0.035 oz / 1 g
salt Pinch

Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, powdered erythritol, matcha green tea powder, and salt until well combined and the erythritol has dissolved.
Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract to the matcha mixture. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and the matcha is fully incorporated with no lumps.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture and whisk thoroughly. The xanthan gum acts as a stabilizer and thickener, giving the ice cream a creamy texture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. For a firmer texture, freeze for an additional 1-2 hours before serving.
Serve with a sprinkle of matcha powder on top for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at cold temperature before starting to help speed up the freezing process.

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less erythritol according to taste.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a freezer-safe dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until the desired consistency is reached.
