This banana matcha ice cream is refreshing, light, and creamy! Make dairy free ice cream for a healthy ice cream to satisfy your ice cream cravings! You will only need 3 ingredients for my matcha banana ice cream recipe. Homemade matcha ice cream cannot get easier than this!
I will also be sharing with you a matcha glaze recipe so that you can drizzle it over your ice cream for that extra punch of matcha flavor. The glaze is optional. You can add any other toppings you prefer such as crushed nuts or condense milk.
This recipe does not require you to have an ice cream maker. All you need is a powder blender or food processor.
For this recipe, you will need a food processor or high performance powder blender – a regular blender will not produce the smooth and creamy texture like ice cream. A REGULAR BLENDER MOTOR MAY BURNOUT from trying to create the cream texture out of the frozen bananas.
Please use a food processor if you do not have a quality powder blender.
Examples of great powder blenders are the Vitamix or Ninja blender. Powder blenders are designed to maintain torque and cool temperature so it can handle tough ingredients. It is designed to give the you the smoothest texture when blending ingredients, so soups, smoothies, and ice cream which are often blended in a high performance power blender.
Healthy Banana Matcha Ice Cream, Matcha Ice Cream
Serving Size = 4 large ice cream scoops
Ingredients:
3 bananas, peeled and frozen
6 teaspoons matcha powder
4 tablespoons condense milk
Step 1:
Chop your frozen bananas into 1-2″ sized pieces. This will allow the powder blender or food processor to easily break down the banana.
Step 2:
Put your 3 frozen cut bananas, 6 teaspoons of machta powder, and 4 tablespoons of condense milk into your powder blender or food processor.
Step 3:
Blend until mixture is in a cream texture. Remember to stop the powder blender or food processor when frozen bananas get stuck. Be safe and make sure powder blender or food processor has fully stopped or is unplugged, and mix up the mixture using a spoon or spatula to unclog the areas that are stuck to continue to blend as needed. Your ice cream should have the texture of a soft serve ice cream.
Step 4:
Your ice cream is now ready to be eaten or you can pour your ice cream mixture into an ice cream container and freeze.
If you do not have an ice cream container, any airtight container will work. Some plastic containers will get brittle in the freezer so check to make sure it is freezer safe.
OPTIONAL: Add toppings to your ice cream. I made a matcha glaze and drizzled over my ice cream.
