Ingredients

  • For the vanilla ice cream base:
  • 12 oz whole milk (1 1/2 cups)
  • 12 oz heavy cream (1 1/2 cups)
  • 8 oz granulated sugar (1 cup)
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • For the black sesame ripple:
  • 4 oz black sesame paste (1/2 cup)
  • 4 oz brown sugar (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-high until steaming but not boiling.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Slowly temper the eggs by whisking in the hot milk mixture a little at a time.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve into a clean bowl. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4–5 hours or overnight.
  6. Churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  7. While churning, mix black sesame paste and brown sugar in a small bowl until evenly combined.
  8. Once the ice cream is churned, layer one quarter of it into a freezer-safe container. Sprinkle one third of the sesame mixture over it. Repeat, ending with a final layer of ice cream.
  9. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, cover, and freeze until firm before serving.

Notes

  • For a bolder sesame flavor, lightly toast the sesame paste in a pan before mixing with sugar.
  • Use dark brown sugar for deeper caramel flavor in the ripple.
  • Add 1–2 tablespoons of warm cream to the sesame mixture for a smoother ripple.
  • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
  • You can use store-bought vanilla ice cream and just add the ripple.
