Strawberry Matcha Affogato Green Tea Ice Cream Recipe
This matcha affogato recipe is a fun twist on the classic Italian dessert, made with protein-packed dairy free matcha ice cream and a dreamy strawberry milk pour-over. It’s the perfect dessert for matcha lovers and a delicious treat for special occasions, or just Tuesday morning!
Equipment
- Milk Frother
- Blender
- Glass or Bowl
- Measuring Cups + Spoons
Ingredients
For the Matcha Ice Cream
- 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1-2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1-2 teaspoons honey
For the Strawberry Milk
- ½ cup almond milk or milk of choice
- ½ scoop strawberry protein powder optional but great for some additional protein
- 2-3 fresh strawberries , or frozen works too
Instructions
- Mix your base. Pour almond milk directly into the Ninja Creami pint container leaving room to combine vanilla protein, matcha powder, and honey. Use a milk frother or bamboo whisk for best results, and mix until fully combined.
- Freeze. Secure the lid on the Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for at least 8 hours (up to 24 hours).
- Spin it. Insert your frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and run the "Lite Ice Cream" function.
- Respin. Add a splash (2-3 tsp.) of almond milk or prepared matcha (not powder), just enough to cover the top of the pint. Run the "Respin" function for that perfect creamy texture.
- Blend the strawberry milk. In a blender, combine almond milk, strawberry protein powder (optional), and strawberries until smooth.
- Assemble. Scoop matcha ice cream into a glass or matcha bowl, then pour strawberry milk over top and enjoy!
Notes
Tips & Tricks for Success
- Use a matcha whisk or small metal whisk in a circular motion to fully blend your matcha powder before freezing if you do not have a milk frother.
- Don’t skip the respin! It may end up crumbly or powdery. It’s truly the best part for that creamy ice cream finish.
- You can also make this with matcha ice cream from the store if you’re short on time. Or, simply use your favorite vanilla ice cream and a matcha shot or two for a more classic version!
- Optional toppings: dark chocolate, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or a dusting of powdered strawberry.
