Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup black sesame seeds
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the black sesame seeds and toast them, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until they become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a blender or food processor. Blend until finely ground into a paste. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure all seeds are ground evenly.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and coconut cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Stir in the sesame paste, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the sesame paste is fully incorporated.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the sugar has completely dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 4-6 hours, or until firm.
Scoop and serve the vegan black sesame ice cream and enjoy!
