Ingredients (Fits in a container 3.5 × 17 × 5.5cm)
- Matcha powder … 16g
- Milk … 90ml
- Heavy cream … 200ml
- Whole eggs … 3
- Granulated sugar … 70–80g (adjust to taste)
Instructions
① Make the Matcha Paste
Gradually add warm milk (90ml) to matcha powder (16g), mixing thoroughly to prevent lumps and create a smooth paste.

② Whip the Eggs
Crack 3 whole eggs into a bowl and whip with a hand mixer until pale and fluffy.

③ Whip the Cream
In another bowl, combine heavy cream (200ml), granulated sugar (70–80g), and the matcha paste from step ①. Whip until stiff peaks form.

④ Combine the Mixtures
Gently fold the whipped egg mixture from step ② into the matcha cream using a spatula. Mix carefully from the bottom to avoid deflating the foam.

⑤ Freeze
Pour into a container, level the surface, and freeze for 3–4 hours until firm.

Tips for the Best Results
- Add the warm milk gradually to the matcha to avoid clumps
- Whip the eggs and cream well for a fluffy, airy finish
- For a less sweet version, 70g of sugar is a great starting point
- Letting it freeze overnight gives a firmer texture and even richer flavor
