Scoop up some guilt-free indulgence with our easy 3-ingredient vegan matcha ice cream recipe! 🍦🌱Chefs typically create vegan matcha coconut ice cream from three simple ingredients: plant-based milk🌱, sugar, and green tea powder. However, there are numerous ways to make it, including a version that uses coconut cream🥥for added richness and flavour. 🍦

🛒Ingredients:
3 tbsps culinary-grade matcha
1 can sweetened condensed coconut milk (about 350 ml)
1 can coconut cream (about 350 ml)
Pinch of salt (optional)

🍴Instructions:
1. Begin by combining sweetened condensed milk and matcha powder in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the matcha powder is fully blended and there are no visible clumps. Next, gradually pour and whisk in the coconut cream until thoroughly combined with the matcha mixture.
2. Divide the mixture into a bowl and freeze it. Remove it after an hour to whisk it so air gets into the mix and turns creamy. Pour into ice trays. Then leave it back to freeze for another hour.
3. Remove the ice trays from the freezer after freezing the base until solid. Let them warm up at room temperature. Next, remove the cubes from the trays. Place them into a blender. Blend the frozen base until it becomes smooth, ensuring to scrape down the sides as needed.
4. Transfer the final product into a chilled storage container. Freeze the dessert for 30 minutes to let it firm up. Finally, enjoy your vegan matcha ice cream after leaving it out to soften for a few minutes!

Our Mission

Welcome to Honest Food Talks, an online community of globetrotting foodies.

Honest Food Talks is a concept founded in 2018 upon discovering the lack of a central portal for in-depth English reviews of local restaurants in Hokkaido, Japan. This is also prevalent across several regions of Asia including Taipei, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur. Here, we found that the English language directory and reviews of local restaurants were inadequate or bias towards large, international food franchises.

Our mission at Honest Food Talks

Created by foodies for fellow foodies, we set out this online portal with three aims; to increase coverage of local hidden gems, provide frank reviews and source the most authentic recipes.

Honest Food Talks researches into the latest food trends and local delicacies. Our dedicated team writes and edits in-depth reviews of restaurants, cafes, and bars that we find intriguing (and hope you do too).

But most importantly, we never mince our words or shy away from our honest opinion about a particular place; whether it is good or bad. It is our motto to talk truthfully about food, 食话食说.

Who are we?

Our core team of international writers is located in Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the UK. All with the same aim to give our readers the best food and drinks recommendations.

Join our community

To give back to the community, we aim to give exposure to lesser-known restaurants. Above all, we want to provide a platform for fellow foodies to express their views and write about the topics they love most, food!

Finally, we sincerely hope, that as our community of globetrotting foodies grows, we will feature more restaurants, recipes, and guides on our online portal.
