As you may remember, we purchased Matcha Powder for the first time a few months ago. There’s a huge Japanese Market right near us so luckily ingredients like this are readily available. So far we’ve made Green Tea Cheesecake Swirl Brownies and a Green Tea Citrus Smoothie. Third time must be a charm because this recipe is definitely my favorite matcha recipe so far.
There is a Japanese Steakhouse near my parents’ house that we’ve been going to for as long as I’ve been able to eat. And my parents went even before that! We think this place is Ah-Mazing and you get so much food…soup, salad, veggies, shrimp appetizer, fried rice and of course the main entrée which is made right in front of you. Love It! Chances are you can’t finish everything but even so ice cream for dessert is included with the meal. Despite always being disgustingly full, I power through and still order the Green Tea Ice cream. I can’t resist.
Plus it’s healthy, right? Don’t answer that.
Green Tea Ice Cream is soooo delicious. Especially ours!! If you’ve never had it before or you’ve never tried homemade then you must try it out. It is really creamy and just the right amount of sweet.
Happy Friday! 🙂
