Vegan Black Sesame Ice Cream: A Creamy and Nutritious Dessert

Ingredients

• 50 g roasted black sesame seeds
• 180 g cashew nuts
• 150 g cane sugar
• 600 g soy milk
• 1 tbsp (10 g) coconut oil

Instructions

• Grind the roasted black sesame seeds in a blender or a food processor until they form a smooth paste. You can also use a mortar and pestle if you have one.
• Blend the cashew nuts; cane sugar; soy milk and coconut oil until they are smooth and creamy in the blender. To ensure sure everything is well mixed; you might need to scrape down the sides of the blender many times.
• The mixture should be poured into an ice cream machine and processed as directed by the manufacturer; typically for 20 minutes or until thick and creamy.
• When the ice cream is set; transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Take a scoop of the ice cream and savor it.
• -------------------------------------
• Tips:
• Instead of crushing the seeds yourself; you may use roasted black sesame butter or paste; just make sure it's not black tahini; which is prepared from raw sesame seeds and has a distinct flavor.
• In addition; you can substitute any other plant-based milk of your choosing such as almond; oat or rice milk for soy milk.
• If you don’t have an ice cream maker; you may freeze the mixture in a shallow baking dish and stir it every hour until the right consistency is achieved.
