The texture and flavor were just like store bought ice cream. I added 2 tbsp of matcha and a 3rd yolk (as suggested by another user) and the matcha taste was nice and strong. This had the same matcha ice cream taste that I could get when I lived in Japan. We froze it to get it harder, but it never went rock hard, like most homemade ice creams get in the freezer, which is a huge plus. And I served it at a dinner party and everyone loved it! - 26 Jun 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Delicious. I recommend doubling the matcha powder for tea lovers and adding an extra egg yolk. - 05 Aug 2015 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Definitely add extra Matcha powder for a more intense flavor. I followed the reviews and added an extra egg yolk as well and it seemed to work out well. - 23 Feb 2019 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
