Green Tea Ice Cream (Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free)

My fiance and I got an Ice Cream Maker for our Bridal Shower, and the first thing I made was (Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free) Green Tea Ice Cream! YUM!!!
I'm going to share this recipe with you because I think it is amazing, and who wants to look all over the place for green tea ice cream when they can make it in their own home? And make it healthier?
 YUM! This recipe makes about 6 (1/2 Cup) servings at 100 Calories Each

The day before you make your ice cream, put your freezer bowl from your ice cream maker into the freezer. Then make the ice cream base and let cool in the refrigerator overnight.

 Ingredients:
  • 1/3 Cup Agave Nectar (taste the ice cream base to see if you want it sweeter)
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 2 1/2 Cups Unsweetened Almond Milk (can use other milk substitute if desired)
  • 1/2 Cup Canned Unsweetened Coconut Milk (Refrigerated overnight to thicken)
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tbsp Matcha (Green Tea Powder)
Directions:
  1. Put all ingredients into your blender and blend until fully combined.
  2. Taste to see if it is sweet enough, add more agave or honey if desired.
  3. Pour blended mixture into a covered container and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Follow your ice cream maker's instructions to make ice cream (Mine took about 20 minutes to make a soft serve ice cream that looked like this...
5. If you want soft serve ice cream you can eat it now, but if you want hard ice cream scoop into a covered container and freeze until it is a scoop-able consistency.

I ate a little bit of it right away, and I froze the rest to eat the next day. YUMMY! I can't wait to make more healthier and delicious Ice Creams using my Ice Cream Maker.
