Green Tea Ice Cream With Peanut Sprinkle Recipes

MATCHA GREEN TEA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk matcha powder in a bowl to remove any lumps; add a splash of milk and whisk until matcha powder is completely dissolved. Gradually whisk remaining milk into matcha mixture.
• Combine cream and matcha mixture in a pot over medium-low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk sugar and eggs together in a bowl. Pour 1/2 cup hot matcha mixture into egg mixture; mix thoroughly. Repeat with remaining matcha mixture. Pour mixture back into the pot.
• Cook and stir matcha mixture over medium-low heat until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.
• Pour cooled matcha mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

GREEN TEA ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Whisk together the condensed milk, matcha powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
• Whip the cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1/2 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, and then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into a chilled 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap and freeze until solid and scoopable, about 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange both the bottoms and tops of the buns cut-side-down on the prepared baking sheet and brush their tops with the egg white, then sprinkle the sugar and sesame seeds on the top buns and only sugar on the bottom buns. Bake until the tops are no longer glossy and the buns are just slightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
• Spread 1/4 teaspoon raspberry jam on the cut-side of each bun half. Scoop 1/4 cup of the ice cream onto each of the bottom buns, then sandwich with the remaining tops. Wrap and freeze until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes. The sandwiches can be frozen for up to 3 days.

GREEN TEA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl beat the egg yolks with the sugar and salt. Set aside.
• In a heavy saucepan, scald the milk. Remove from the heat. Add the tea, cover and steep for 4 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot, pressing with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Ladle 1/3 of the cream mixture into the eggs and whisk well to combine. Add all the egg mixture to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
• Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container and cool in the refrigerator, about 2 hours.
• Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a plastic container and keep in the freezer until ready to serve.

GREEN TEA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream, half-and-half, and vanilla bean, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't scorch on the bottom. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), set aside to infuse for 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Whisking constantly, slowly pour the still-hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees, the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough yet. When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat and whisk in the green tea. Meanwhile, half-fill a large bowl with ice water. Strain the mixture into a smaller bowl to smooth it and remove the vanilla bean. Rest the smaller bowl in the ice water and let the mixture cool, stirring often, then continue according to the directions of your ice cream maker.
