Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup black sesame paste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are chilled, especially the heavy cream, to help achieve the best whipping consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the black sesame paste and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well integrated, with no sesame paste lumps remaining.
- In a separate clean, cold mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the black sesame and condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Use a careful folding technique to maintain the cream's airiness, ensuring no streaks remain.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container with an airtight lid. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or lid and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the ice cream to set completely.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Serve in chilled bowls and optionally garnish with additional black sesame seeds or a drizzle of honey.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always start with chilled ingredients, especially heavy cream, to ensure the best whipping consistency and a smooth final texture.
- Whip with Precision: When beating the cream, watch for stiff peaks carefully. Over-beating can lead to a grainy texture, while under-beating won't provide the necessary volume.
- Fold Gently: Use a spatula and a gentle folding motion to incorporate whipped cream into the sesame mixture. This preserves the air bubbles that create a light, creamy texture.
- Freezing Matters: For the best results, allow the ice cream to set overnight. Patience will reward you with a perfectly smooth and creamy dessert.
- Serving Tip: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to achieve the ideal scooping consistency.
