Ingredients

• 2 cups Fat-free milk
• 0.5 cup Tahini (sesame paste)
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the fat-free milk, tahini, honey, vanilla extract, sesame seeds, and salt. Stir well to ensure the tahini is fully mixed with the milk.

Step 2

Put the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture until it's hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a smooth slurry.

Step 4

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the milk mixture while stirring continuously. This will thicken the ice cream base.

Step 5

Continue cooking the mixture on medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes, until it reaches a consistency similar to a light custard. It should coat the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Remove the pan from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a heatproof container and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until completely cold.

Step 7

Once the mixture is cold, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-30 minutes.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the ice cream scooped into bowls or cones, and enjoy the nutty, lightly sweet flavor of sesame!
