    These Matcha Ice Milk Popsicles are a light and refreshing treat, perfect for a summer day. Creamy matcha green tea ice milk, slightly sweetened on a stick!

    3 Matcha ice milk popsicles on a plate.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    This recipe for Matcha Ice Milk Popsicles is based on my Creamy Vanilla Ice Milk, with the addition of matcha green tea.

    It's not too sweet and is easy to make.

    These popsicles are a fun way to enjoy matcha ice milk, which makes them a great treat for summer.

    You'll only need 5 ingredients to make them.

    Ingredients you'll need

    • whole milk: you can use any milk, or non-dairy alternative
    • condensed milk: is a thick and sweetened milk that comes in a can; you can substitute coconut condensed milk for a vegan option
    • granulated sugar
    • vanilla extract: use an alcohol-based pure vanilla extract for the best flavour; helps to keep the mixture creamy
    • matcha powder: sifted, use a high quality, ceremonial matcha powder for the best flavour

    How to make the popsicles

    The night before:

    Chill the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 12 hours or longer.

    In a bowl or large jar, combine together whole milk, condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and matcha powder.

    Give it a stir and chill in the fridge until ready to churn.

    On the day of:

    Pour the matcha milk mixture into the ice cream maker.

    Churn according to your ice cream maker manufacturer's instructions (mine was set on Sorbet/Sherbet mode for about 40 minutes), until increased in volume.

    Scoop/pour the mixture into the popsicle molds and insert a wooden popsicle stick.

    Note: if using silicone popsicle molds, be sure to insert the popsicle stick first before adding in the matcha milk mixture.

    Freeze until solid, at least 6-8 hours or overnight.

      I love the unique flavor here - as well as how easy these are to make! It's hot down here in the South, and one of these popsicles would be pretty awesome in the middle of the afternoon...now I just need to find my popsicle molds. 🙂
