Makes
1 to 2 Servings

About 1 cupful Good Quality Vanilla Ice Cream *softened
2 tablespoons Toasted Black Sesame Seeds

- Leave the ice cream at room temperature until softens.
- If you use raw Black Sesame Seeds, toast them using a saucepan for a few minutes or until aromatic. Place the toasted Sesame Seeds in ‘Suribachi (Japanese mortar)’ and grind into smooth paste. *Note: If you use a food grinder or small food processor, you need to increase the amount and add some Milk that helps the process.
- When the ice cream is just soft enough, add Black Sesame paste, and mix well. Place in the freezer to firm up.
