Go nuts!



This is the flavour that I will repeat for many times!

 A very nutty flavour of black sesame ice cream. It is a very common dessert in the Japanese restaurant, everyone must be familiar with it. To be honest , not the flavour that I would crave for, champion ice cream to me was actually green tea ice cream. You are right, I am using "was". Ha, this black sesame ice cream successfully won my heart over. But I have to make a note here, this only applicable to my homemade ice cream.

Looking everywhere for the black sesame paste. I have to say the taste of the ice cream is greatly depend on the paste so don't try to save the money. In fact, the cost of this homemade black sesame ice cream isn't very cheap if u compare with other flavour.When I open up the bottle, what I can see is just charcoal black, not sweet, strong nutty flavour, I know I got it. I would prefer the result came out to be darker colour, means I have to increase the amount of the paste, still, I never know if it will be too strong of the nut flavour.

The black sesame paste that I used. (Like!)

 Recipe for the black sesame ice cream:

1 cup of whole milk
2 cups of heavy cream
6 egg yolks
Sugar 70gm
Black sesame paste 70gm
Some black and white sesame for toppings.

Not much difference with my other recipe for ice cream. The only thing is to slowly mix the paste into the milk before you heat it up. Take a look on my green tea ice cream recipe in this blog. It's not as difficult as you think! When you manage to churn your own ice cream, you wouldn't even think about buying one pint from the supermarket!
