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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours until firm.
Step 8
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!
