Alternatives:

• Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream, and dairy milk with soy or cashew milk, and skip the eggs to make vegan matcha ice cream.
• Use condensed milk instead of eggs, milk, and sugar for a sweet, silky, smooth ice cream mixture.
• Get creative with toppings. Top the matcha scoop with coconut shavings, white or dark chocolate chips, chopped roasted nuts, cookie crumbles, or good-old sprinkles.
