Preparation Steps
1
Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, then let them cool and coarsely chop them.
2
In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a little hot water until smooth, ensuring it will distribute evenly in the ice cream.
3
In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. It’s important that the cream is very cold, otherwise it won’t whip properly.
4
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and matcha paste into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the cream.
5
Fold the toasted almonds and honey into the ice cream base, ensuring a crunchy and sweet combination in every bite.
6
Pour the mixture into a deep container, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
7
Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to scoop. Garnish with toasted almonds and a sprinkle of matcha powder.
