Matcha anything is pretty popular here in Taiwan and I'm a huge fan of it myself. Since I had some on hand after making a cake and some truffles with it, I thought I'd make myself a treat to help keep me cool during the summer.
I usually make my own cones to enjoy with this matcha ice cream, but you could stack it high on some cake, waffles or pancakes to replicate the latest food trends or enjoy it by itself. For an added yum factor, sprinkle it with some white chocolate shavings or some broken up pocky sticks.
