Matcha Mascarpone Ice Cream (GF- 4 servings)

This is not your average scoop. Silky, house-made ice cream built on a base of rich, velvety mascarpone that gives it a depth and creaminess you simply cannot get from anywhere else, swirled through with the deep, grassy, slightly bitter earthiness of ceremonial grade matcha that cuts through the richness in the most perfect way imaginable. The combination is elegant, unexpected, and completely addictive — the kind of thing you think about long after the last spoonful is gone. A little bit Italian, a little bit Japanese, and entirely Gina.

Serving Instructions: Remove from the freezer and allow to sit at room temperature for 5-8 minutes before serving to reach the perfect scoopable consistency. Do not microwave. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream before returning to the freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming.
