Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Black sesame seeds
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Black sesame paste (tahini)
- 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
- 200 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Once cooled, grind the toasted black sesame seeds in a food processor or spice grinder until they form a fine powder.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot, but not boiling, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the black sesame paste, ground black sesame seeds, and vanilla protein powder until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Gradually add the milk mixture to the yogurt mixture, whisking continuously to incorporate until smooth.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. Churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
Scoop and serve the high-protein black sesame ice cream, garnished with additional toasted sesame seeds if desired.
