Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk
- 100 g Toasted sesame seeds
- 120 ml Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Place the toasted sesame seeds into a food processor or blender. Process until you achieve a fine paste. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
Add the sesame paste, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the coconut milk. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Ensure there are no lumps.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, whisking continuously. This will help thicken the mixture.
Continue to cook the mixture on medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken and small bubbles appear at the edges. Do not let it boil.
Once thickened, remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the mixture into a lidded container and refrigerate for about 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to achieve a firmer consistency.
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving. Enjoy your homemade dairy-free sesame ice cream!
