Matcha Cashew Ice Cream | Dessert Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

YIELD: 1 QUART

The magical cashew is the stand-in for traditional heavy whipping cream in this creamy confection. Matcha green tea powder adds a distinctive color and flavor, which matches the mellow texture of this ice cream.

Directions

Place the cashews in a medium bowl and cover with water.

Cap with a dinner plate and let the cashews soak for at least 3 hours, preferably 4.

Drain the cashews and transfer into a food processor along with the remaining ingredients.

Blend until very smooth, for about 8 minutes, scraping down the sides often.

You can make this even creamier by transferring into a blender and blending until super smooth.

Place in the bowl of an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Transfer to a flexible airtight container and freeze 6 hours before serving.

Keeps for up to 3 months frozen.
