Homemade Black Sesame Ice Cream Recipe (video)

This is one of my favourite things to find on a Japanese restaurant menu. Some people are put off by the grey colour, but the flavour of this black sesame ice cream is just fantastic. It's toasty, nutty, and wonderfully rich. Black sesame paste or black sesame butter is widely available in the ethnic aisle of most grocery stores, though it can also be bought online from places like Amazon if you live in a food desert where such items are hard or impossible to come by.

You may wish to hold back some of the toasted whole black sesame seeds from being ground up, because they do make a very attractive garnish. We were a little pressed for time, so that last shot shows the ice cream a little overly soft, but if it had stayed in the freezer another hour or so it would have been a lovely creamy consistency that held together a little better.

I would try that. I want to make some peach or apricot ice cream but so far the fruit available to me hasn't been quite tasty/ripe enough.

Dunno why! It's been a hot summer, maybe it just got started a little late.

But yeah, I love this ice cream a lot. Heartily recommend.
