STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE # 35 : Banana Matcha Ice Cream with Cacao Nibs
Hello friends,
It's me again participating in Steemit Culinary Challenge, please dont get bored of me :-) Even though I only won once, that doesn't mean I wont participate in it anymore, on the contrary, it makes me more and more motivated.
This week's theme is ice cream and because of SCC I finally made my own ice cream from scratch. I never make it by myself because not far from where I live, there is a good ice cream maker that sells so many kind of ice cream. I have an excuse not to make it by myself :-D
For SCC #35, I decided to make an easy ice cream, Banana Matcha Ice Cream with Cacao Nibs. Do you want to know how is the process? Let's get started :-)
INGREDIENTS
- 6 rips bananas
- 2 tsp matcha powder
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 4 tbsp cacao nibs
METHODS
- cut bananas into slices, leave it in the freezer for overnight
- mix half of coconut milk and matcha powder until it turns to paste, set aside
- put bananas into food processor, pulse it until it turns to chunks
- place the matcha paste to the food processor
- add in the remaining coconut milk and maple syrup, blend until smooth
- place half of the ice cream to the container, sprinkle some cacao nibs
place the remaining ice cream and sprinkle again with the remaining cacao nibs
place in the freezer for one hour before serving :-)
This ice cream is perfect for any occasion and is also healthy. Matcha has a lot of antioxidants which is good for our body and cacao nibs is one of superfood that boosts energy and burn fats. Not to mention the benefits of banana :-D So, this ice cream is worth a try.

Many thanks @progressivechef! There's actually a lot of way making ice cream without ice cream maker. This was my first time, and there'll be another time :-)
Mmmmmmmmmmm your ice cream looks fab @ikaputri3! Love your choice of ingredients. I find banana not only takes care of much of the sweetness, but also makes for nice thick & creamy ice cream (or frozen yoghurt too). I really like how nutritious this is with the matcha, cacao and coconut milk... perfect for me so I'd like you to send me some please! Wonderful photography as always, you seem to have your own unique style which I enjoy seeing. Good luck!
With pleasure Joanna! I'd love to share this with you :-) Also thanks for your nice comment!
This soft serve nicecream is even healthy enough to eat for breakfast! Matcha, superfood and sweet caramelized flavor of bananas makes it tasty and fills you energy! Great photography and presentation.Good luck!
Wow, I never think that this might be good for breakfast. I'll try it tomorrow for breakfast. That's a good idea! Thank you @rouketas for your appreciation :-)
