Ingredients

• 60 grams Black sesame seeds
• 500 ml Skim milk
• 150 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 100 grams Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until they start to release their aroma. Stir continuously to prevent burning.

Step 2

Once toasted, transfer the seeds to a blender or food processor and grind them until they form a coarse powder.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, mix the skim milk, sugar, and black sesame powder together. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm and the sugar has dissolved.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, stirring until smooth.

Step 5

Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the warm milk and sesame seed mixture. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Once cooled, stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 9

If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals until it reaches the consistency of ice cream, about 4 hours.

Step 10

Once fully set, serve the ice cream or store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
