Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Stevia sweetener
• 4 large Egg yolks

Directions

Step 1

Begin by toasting sesame seeds: heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden and become fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and half of the heavy cream (1 cup). Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, stevia sweetener, and salt until well combined and slightly pale.

Step 4

Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and avoid scrambling.

Step 5

Return the mixture to the saucepan and place over low heat. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon; do not allow it to boil.

Step 6

Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Step 7

Transfer the custard into a blender or use an immersion blender to blend in the toasted sesame seeds until smooth and well combined.

Step 8

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any remaining sesame bits.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill the custard in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 10

Once chilled, pour the custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 11

Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2 hours or until firm before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free sesame ice cream!
