Collaboration with Sunday Natural

Summer is coming and I have created a tasty creamy vegan no churn recipe for matcha popsicles for you. They are also gluten free.

You probably know that Japanese green tea is not only a delicious tea to drink, but also an amazing ingredient for sweets and baked goods.

And as you are reading this recipe, you are probably also a fan of this super healthy antioxidant-rich green powder?

Ingredients for the matcha popsicles

Matcha powder

The matcha should be 100% pure and bright green, that usually means it’s good quality. I really like the organic Uji matcha premium by Sunday Natural*, which I was provided with for this collaboration. You can also get matcha accessories from Sunday Natural*.

Once you open the matcha, it’s best to keep it closed in the fridge and use it in the next couple of weeks.

The amounts in the recipe are suggestions, of course you decide how green you want your matcha popsicles.

coconut sugar and cacao butter

Sunday Natural have also provided me with their coconut sugar* and their cacao butter*. You might already know them from my other recipes for the brand, I use them a lot.

vegan whipped cream

For my matcha popsicles, it is important to use vegan cream that’s labeled as whippable, as there are some brands that are not. Those don’t work for this recipe.

vegan condensed milk

Vegan condensed milk is very easy to make, all you need is coconut milk and coconut sugar. This is how the recipe below starts.

It’s important not to use a long narrow vessel, because that takes ages to reduce the liquid. A low wide one is super efficient.

As coconut cans are usually 13.5 oz, I usually make prepare twice the amount of condensed milk that I need for the popsicles and use the other half for delicious coffee or matcha latte.

vegan white chocolate

I add them when I melt chocolate for purposes like this, because it makes the chocolate more liquid and more manageable.

How do you use ice cream molds?

It is actually super easy and so much fun!

You’ll only need some ice cream molds, these here* are super easy to use , not expensive and come with wooden sticks. This mold makes 8 ice creams of 7cm x 4cm.
