Ingredients
- 0.5 cup black sesame seeds
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the black sesame seeds and toast them, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until they become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 2
Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a blender or food processor. Blend until finely ground into a paste. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure all seeds are ground evenly.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and coconut cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Step 4
Stir in the sesame paste, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the sesame paste is fully incorporated.
Step 5
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the sugar has completely dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Step 7
Once cooled, cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
Step 8
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 4-6 hours, or until firm.
Step 10
Scoop and serve the vegan black sesame ice cream and enjoy!
