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
Directions
Step 1
Place the toasted sesame seeds into a food processor or blender. Process until you achieve a fine paste. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
Step 3
Add the sesame paste, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the coconut milk. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 5
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, whisking continuously. This will help thicken the mixture.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once thickened, remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the mixture into a lidded container and refrigerate for about 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Step 9
After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes.
Step 10
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to achieve a firmer consistency.
Step 11
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!
