• 0.25 cup Black sesame seeds
• 0.33 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by toasting the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir often and toast until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2

Transfer the cooled sesame seeds to a spice grinder or blender, and blend until they form a fine powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the coconut milk, silken tofu, maple syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt, and the powdered sesame seeds.

Step 4

Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add almond milk to the blender and blend on low speed until well combined.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or add a pinch more salt if necessary.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.

Step 8

Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 9

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
