Place bananas in a powerful blender along with milk, coconut nectar, and vanilla extract. Pulse until smooth. Meanwhile, combine matcha green tea powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water. Mix until you get a nice smooth green paste. Combine the paste with the banana mixture and mix well. If you need a thicker mixture, add one more banana process again. Transfer the mixture to an air-tight container and freeze for at least 4 hours.

Matcha Ice Cream with Baklava Sprinkles With Bananas and Coconut Nectar

Matcha ice cream is very popular dessert for all green tea fans out there. This fabulous recipe is completely plant-based and vegan-friendly recipe that will perfectly replace your usual dessert recipes.

I wanted to share with you this awesome combination of creamy ice cream and cinnamon baklava sprinkles made with almonds and walnuts. Naturally, all kinds of nuts you have on hand will do the job, especially pistachios and pecans, but this mixture is the most authentic and tastes the best.

For a crunchier texture, you can replace minced nuts with finely chopped or even whole ones. That’s up to you. Drizzle with some coconut nectar before serving and enjoy this healthy dessert all year round!
