Black Sesame Ice Cream (No Churn)

Black sesame is one of my favorite flavors at fancy coffee shops. That nutty creamy super addictive black sesame flavor translates so well into ice cream. And this recipe requires just 4 ingredients and is ready in about 6 hours. No ice cream machine needed!

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
½ cup black sesame powder

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and black sesame powder until fully combined. Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes, or until well chilled.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the chilled mixture on medium-high speed until thickened to a soft, custard-like consistency, about 5–10 minutes.
Spoon or pour mixture into an ice cream container or 2-quart dish. Tap the container gently on the counter a few times to release trapped air bubbles. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
For easier scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping if frozen solid. Garnish with black sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Makes about 6 cups, or 12, ½ cup servings. Fits well in a 1.5-quart container.

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

For the best flavor, use toasted black sesame powder.

If using black sesame seeds instead of powder, grind them finely before using.

Pssst (secret tip): I love the whipped ice cream base as a cold foam topper for iced lattes as well. After you’ve whipped the mixture, set some aside before freezing the rest, and you have a delicious coffee drink!
