Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black sesame seeds
- 2 cups Coconut milk (full fat, from a can)
- 1 cup Coconut cream (from a can)
- 0.75 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by toasting the black sesame seeds. Place a medium skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir frequently and toast for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and slightly darker. Be careful not to burn them.
Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a blender or food processor. Blend on high until a smooth paste forms. This may take a few minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides to ensure an even texture.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat until just beginning to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Add the black sesame paste to the warm coconut mixture. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend until completely smooth and well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the mixture to avoid forming a skin, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours until firm.
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping. Enjoy your dairy-free black sesame ice cream!
