Summary

Nothing says “satisfying after-dinner treat” quite like this refreshing Green Tea Pistachio Nice Cream. What makes this elevated nice cream flavor even more special is that it comes with lots of antioxidants from the green tea, prebiotic fiber from the banana, and creamy sweetness from the coconut cream. What’s more, you can customize the flavors to your liking. So have some good old-fashioned fun with plants, and let your creativity shine!

Yields2 Servings

Ingredients

 2 small ripe bananas
 ½ cup coconut cream (optional; no water, just the cream)
 2 tsp matcha tea powder (unsweetened)
 ¼ cup pistachios (shelled and chopped)

Directions

1

Add the banana, coconut cream (if using, see Chef’s Notes), and matcha tea powder to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2

Transfer to a freezer-safe container. Stir in the pistachios.

3

Freeze for 1–2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes for the first hour.

4

To serve, bring to room temperature until it’s soft enough to divide into bowls. Top with more pistachios, if desired.

Chef’s Notes

Substitutions
If you’re sensitive to caffeine, substitute moringa powder or acai powder for matcha powder.

Low Saturated-Fat Version
If you’re watching your cholesterol levels, omit the coconut cream. It adds another layer of creaminess to the ice cream, but an overly ripe creamy banana by itself works too! You could also add avocado or silken tofu in its place!

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
