Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (toasted)
- 2 tablespoons Black sesame paste
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Guar gum (optional)
Instructions
Begin by toasting the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally until they are golden brown and fragrant, approximately 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, and sea salt. Place over medium heat and stir frequently until the erythritol has dissolved.
Add the toasted sesame seeds, black sesame paste, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir until the mixture is uniform, then remove from heat.
If using, sprinkle in the guar gum and whisk thoroughly to combine. This helps stabilize the ice cream and improve texture, but it's optional.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up.
Serve scoops of the keto sesame ice cream garnished with a sprinkle of additional toasted sesame seeds if desired.
