Japanese Black Sesame Ice Cream

This is one delicious nutty ice cream . The color of the ice cream might not be so inviting , but believe me , looks can be deceiving sometimes . I really think this has become my favourite ice cream , on the top list .. more than the vanilla ice cream !! It’s not hard to make , just make sure you watch it closely when you roast the sesame seed because it might get burnt easily since it’s black and you wouldn’t be able to tell . So anyway , here it is

You need :

1/2 cup of roasted black sesame seed

3/4 cup of sugar

4 egg yolks

1 cup of low fat milk

1 cup of heavy cream

1. In a bowl mix well the sugar and egg yolks until it’s creamy and pale .

2. Meanwhile , warm up the milk and cream , and then pour into the egg mixture ,while keep whisking . Return the mixture into the pot , and cook until it’s thick enough to cover the back of a spoon , do not boil or it will curdle .

3. Grind the sesame seed , and then pour into the mixture , let it chill in the fridge overnight , and churn in the ice cream machine the next day .
