Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup Black sesame seeds
• 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 4 large Egg yolks

Directions

Step 1

Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 4-5 minutes until fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 2

Grind the toasted black sesame seeds into a fine paste using a food processor or a spice grinder, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and almond milk. Heat the mixture until it is warm but not boiling.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, sea salt, and egg yolks until smooth and pale.

Step 5

Slowly pour a small amount of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

Step 6

Gradually add the rest of the cream mixture to the bowl, whisking constantly, then return the entire mixture to the saucepan.

Step 7

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the black sesame paste until fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 9

Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 10

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.
