\u00a0In times of M&Ms, of purple pops and bright blue Jell-O there are really only a couple of colours left that are still seriously unappetizing to us. Concrete grey with little black dots is definitely amongst them. But I really hope you still give this Black Sesame Ice Cream a chance! In my opinion, it is one of the best ice cream flavours ever and not without reason a Classic Asian Dessert!\u00a0Plus: There is also chocolate in it!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chocolate swirl adds sweetness and contrast, balancing the slightly earthy sesame notes perfectly. If you\u2019re looking for a unique homemade ice cream flavor that\u2019s not vanilla number 47, this black sesame ice cream is your new obsession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fell in love with black sesame ice cream in a little ice cream parlour in Prague where people are generally less scared of black food. Let me just say, Poppy Seed Cake!!! The flavour and colour of the black sesame ice cream I had there actually reminded me quite a bit of a Polish poppy seed cake. One of my favourite things ever! So nutty, rich and toasty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I saw this<\/a> recipe which combines a creamy Black Sesame Ice Cream with milk chocolate I was so sold! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I personally love all\u00a0nut flavoured\u00a0ice creams and am a sucker for tahini! If that sounds like your kind of thing you really have to try it! It\u00b4s time for some black ice cream magic !!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I have to toast the black sesame seeds first?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes\u2014please don\u2019t skip that step. Toasting brings out the deep nutty flavor and removes that \u201cmeh\u201d raw-seed taste. It takes only a few minutes and makes a huge difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Can I use black sesame paste instead of whole seeds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Yes! If you have black sesame paste, you can use it instead of seeds. Just make sure it\u2019s 100% sesame (no added sugar unless you want to adjust sweetness). Start with about 5\u20136 tablespoons paste for a similar intensity<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Do I need an ice cream machine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


For the best texture, yes. Without an ice cream machine, the ice cream will still taste amazing, but it may freeze harder and be a bit more \u201cgranita energy\u201d than creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n
