Want a Delicious Guilt Free Ice Cream? Try My Antioxidant Rich Matcha Nice Cream Today!
Don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day? Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a… Matcha Ginger Ice Cream, please! This delicious ice cream is a match up that will leave you satisfied and not questioning your life decisions. So say goodbye to Tinder and hello to PJ’s, Netflix, and this sweet dessert! It’s filled with clean and powerful ingredients that will build you up and not get you down. Plus, it’s cool, creamy, dreamy, and tantalizing on your tongue 😉
The key ingredient in this dessert is matcha powder – which hails from Japan. Matcha has 3x the amount of EGCG than regular green tea, which is a powerful antioxidant that can boost your immunity and may help prevent cancer. Since matcha is essentially ground up green tea leaves, you’re also ingesting 100% of the nutrients instead of the 5-10% of nutrients that you get from steeping a green tea bag in water.
This ice cream’s flavor is rounded out by ginger (good for reducing inflammation and supporting the immune system), coconut cream (yay feelings and healthy fats), and toasted black sesame seeds (a natural and healthy alternative to sprinkles).

Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 inch slice of fresh ginger
- 1 1/2 Tbs. matcha green tea
- 1 Tbs. maple syrup
- Toasted black sesame seeds (optional topping)
Directions
- Put all ingredients – except for the sesame seeds – in a blender or food processor and blend until everything is combined.
- Pour liquid mixture into two ice trays. Place in freezer for several hours until the mixture is completely frozen.
- Pop out the ice cubes -- by pushing a knife down on one side of each section – and add them to your blender.
- Blend, using a tamper, until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If the mixture becomes too icy in consistency or is challenging to blend, add in a little bit of coconut milk until you get the texture that you want.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Tip: if you don’t eat all of the ice cream in one sitting, freeze the leftover portions in popsicle molds!
