Happy Halloween!

Took another run at the first flavor I ever made: matcha and Oreo. Calling it Cookie Monster 🎃👻

2.5 cups whole milk
2.5 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp corn syrup
3 egg yolks
pinch of salt
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/8 teaspoon guar gum
1/4 cup skim milk powder
4-5 tbsp good quality matcha
as many crushed up oreo thins as you want

Whisk matcha powder in a bowl to remove any lumps. Add a splash of milk and whisk until matcha powder is completely dissolved. Gradually whisk in remaining milk.

Transfer matcha mixture to a pot. Add cream and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Whisk sugars and eggs together in a bowl. Pour 1/2 cup hot matcha mixture into egg mixture, whisking quickly until thoroughly combined. Repeat with remaining matcha mixture. Pour mixture back into the pot. Add salt and skim milk powder and immersion blend.

Cook and stir matcha mixture over medium-low heat until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.

Add xanthan/guar and immersion blend again.

Pour matcha mixture into an ice cream maker and run about 20 min. Add crushed oreos towards the end
