How To Make Black Sesame Ice Cream (No Churn Ice Cream Recipe)
Black Sesame Ice Cream is a striking and visually unique dessert that might surprise those accustomed to traditional colorful ice cream flavors. Its deep gray color and rich, nutty flavor make it an unforgettable treat.
Originating from Japan, this ice cream is beloved for its toasty, nutty taste and creamy texture, which makes it highly addictive and surprisingly guilt-free due to the nutritional benefits of black sesame seeds.
Black sesame seeds are known for their health benefits, including being high in fiber and protein, and they are said to help lower cholesterol. This makes Black Sesame Ice Cream not only delicious but also a slightly healthier dessert option compared to many other flavors. You won't regret trying it.
You can buy black sesame ice cream at supermarkets or even convenience stores in Japan, but it is often sold as a limited seasonal flavor. Since the sesame seed harvest occurs in autumn, this ice cream is typically considered an autumn to winter treat.
A key ingredient in this ice cream is Nerigoma, a black sesame paste similar to tahini but with a more pronounced roasted flavor. While you might hesitate to buy black Nerigoma solely for ice cream, it's a versatile ingredient that can be used in various recipes, much like peanut butter or other nut pastes. For example, you can use Nerigoma to make our black sesame pudding and black sesame matcha latte recipes.
You can make your own Nerigoma; however, achieving a completely smooth consistency can be challenging. For a creamy texture in your ice cream, I strongly recommend purchasing ready-made Nerigoma.
If you have an ice cream maker, at Step 8, pour the mixture into the pre-frozen bowl of the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Homemade ice cream can absorb freezer odors easily, so it’s best to consume your Black Sesame Ice Cream within two weeks for optimal flavor and freshness.
This Black Sesame Ice Cream is sure to provide a memorable and enjoyable eating experience. Enjoy this nutritious and surprising dessert that offers a unique twist on traditional ice cream flavors!
