Ingredients

• 100 grams Black sesame seeds
• 250 milliliters Whole milk
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Black sesame paste (tahini)
• 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
• 200 grams Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

Once cooled, grind the toasted black sesame seeds in a food processor or spice grinder until they form a fine powder.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot, but not boiling, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the black sesame paste, ground black sesame seeds, and vanilla protein powder until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the milk mixture to the yogurt mixture, whisking continuously to incorporate until smooth.

Step 7

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.

Step 8

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. Churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 9

Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.

Step 10

Scoop and serve the high-protein black sesame ice cream, garnished with additional toasted sesame seeds if desired.
