It's true that ice cream pie is a classic southern dessert. But how about crossing a little bit of Asian flavor with that classic southern staple? Natalie Keng, who wrote the new cookbook Egg Rolls and Sweet Tea stopped by Tonia's Ktichen with a recipe for Gotcha Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream Pie. It combines the power of green tea with the deliciousness of good-old fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream. Give this one a try!
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp culinary grade matcha powder
- 1 stick melted unsalted butter
- 3 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch par-baked pie shell or follow instructions on pre-made pie crust
Heat oven to 325°, and whisk together dry ingredients.
STEP 2
Mix in melted butter.
STEP 3
Beat in eggs and egg yolk one at a time, then beat mixture for a few minutes more.
STEP 4
Stir in the vanilla and cream.
STEP 5
Pour into the pie shell and bake for 45-60 minutes. About halfway through, rotate the pie to get an even browning on top. It's done when the edges are completely set and the center is just a tiny bit wobbly still.
