Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.75 cup Erythritol
• 0.5 cup Black sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 5 pieces Large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Start by toasting the black sesame seeds. In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sesame seeds and toast them, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 2

Once toasted, transfer the seeds to a food processor. Add sesame oil and blend to make a paste. Set aside.

Step 3

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, almond milk, and erythritol. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 5

Gradually add the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the mixture from heat and immediately stir in the black sesame paste and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 9

Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 10

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