In reply to Alyssa. Hi Alyssa, it's for flavor, you can leave it out if you want.

I have made this before and it always turns out great. Question – is the lemon necessary for the recipe or is it just for flavor? I want to try a hojicha version instead of matcha, but I don’t want lemon flavor with it.

In reply to Donna. Hi Donna, I don't have any experience using that sweetener, so I'm not sure.

Could I make this with monkfruit blend sweetener instead of sugar?

In reply to Gabrielle Clissold. What setting did you use on the Creami? I was thinking of dumping these ingredients into the blender then freezing in the Creami container...maybe the light ice cream setting?

Not really creamy like you expect ice cream to be, had a overly syrupy taste to it (might be the maple syrup I used, or maybe I just don’t like it). It’s strange the recipe doesn’t tell you when to add the coconut milk. I had trouble with the coconut milk, even though I whisked for a while it was not enough. It’s like it needs to go through a blender, or whisked for a very long time otherwise you will get hard clumps of coconut cream in your ice cream.

If you decide to make this use a blender if you have it. It will make it much easier.

Well, after testing/testing 9 of the recipes found in a google search for vegan gluten free matcha green tea ice cream, this is the best one by far. No close seconds. This touches all the bases, creamy, not icy, no aftertaste and just good!
Also…….EASY! Mahalo and ALOHA!!!

This ice cream is amazing! Unfortunately I squeezed too much lemon and ruined the flavour, but it froze beautifully and still tastes good when combined with chocolate ice cream! Next time I might skip the lemon altogether, just to be safe.
