Last week’s book signing at la Cocotte went down a storm. We had several little chefs assembling the ‘tea-ramisu’. The kids had to imbibe a green tea genoise with a green tea syrup and then build several layers of genoise with a green tea cream. It got a bit messy but everyone had fun and it all tasted good.
For some reason we were left with plenty of the green tea cream filling. Me, not being one to waste things, I decided to try and make ice cream. I don’t have an ice cream maker, so my way of making ice cream involves just freezing (if you have an ice cream maker and you try this recipe, let me know how it goes).
Fluffy (whisked egg whites), melt in your mouth with a wonderful subtle green tea flavour. This ice cream goes perfectly with the tartness of the raspberry wafers.

Wow, this looks amazing. I have a thing for ice cream sandwiches and this one is certainly making me want to make some. The combination is really unique. Great photos.
Snap Helen, one little silver foil packet is definetly not enough. More like a whole box for me.
I grew up on these! I was just describing to my husband how severe my craving for strawberry or raspberry Paille d’or was and now I see this…oh sweet torture!!! I used to eat them by the box, one little silver foil packet was never enough! I love how you used it with the green tea ice cream. Brilliant!
I would love to try green tea ice cream. Just gorgeous color.
This is just so delicious. Wonderful indeed! Love the colors.
What a fantastic looking ice cream. Green tea is certainly one of the flavors on my list of ice creams to try and you have made a wonderful presentation of this.
