An incredibly easy, perfectly balanced green tea ice cream. The Oreos are my addition, borrowed from the many Matcha Oreo McFlurries I ate in Singapore.

Nigella's no-churn matcha ice cream with Oreos

Matcha is my favourite flavour of ice cream so I have no idea why I waited so long to make Nigella's No-Churn Matcha Ice Cream. It’s got just three ingredients and only requires a bit of whisking, plus time to freeze.

I accidentally used the entire 397g tin of condensed milk so the cream (before it became ice cream) was tooth-achingly sweet and I had to buy more double cream to rein it back in. Now there are nearly 2 litres of matcha ice cream in my freezer; the equivalent of 4 tubs of Ben and Jerry’s. It’s really good so I’m not complaining.

I mixed half of the batch with some broken up Oreo biscuits, inspired by the McFlurries I used to eat in Singapore, and I can't recommend this addition enough.

Notes

I use NutriExtracts Japanese Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder (affiliate link). I'm not loyal to this brand; I go for anything that's ceremonial grade and reasonably priced.

Recipe

Nigella's No-Churn Matcha Ice Cream (with added Oreos)

Serves: 8

Ingredients

½ a 397g tin of condensed milk (150ml)
300ml double cream
2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
5 Oreos (optional)

Method

Pour ½ of a 397g tin of condensed milk (150ml) into a large bowl and stir. Add 300ml of double cream and whisk until the mixture starts to thicken (I use an electric hand mixer).
Sieve 2 tablespoons of matcha powder into the mixture and whisk until the cream can hold its shape but is still fairly soft.
If using, crumble in 3 Oreo biscuits and stir then pour the mixture into a 1 litre container (or 2 x 500ml containers). Crumble the remaining 2 Oreos on top of the mixture.
Freeze overnight. Take out around 10 minutes before serving and return the ice cream to the freezer promptly. Eat within 1 month.
