Raise your hand if you love black sesame ice cream as much as I do! It is one of my must-have desserts whenever I visit an Asian market. But did you know that it is super easy to make black sesame ice cream at home?

Traditional black sesame ice cream not only requires an ice cream machine and a long ingredient list, but it also takes 1 to 2 days freeze the ice cream properly. That’s why I decided to figure out an easy black sesame ice cream recipe to make at home, to curb my summer craving!

In this recipe, you only need four ingredients and a loaf pan. And your ice cream will be ready in as quick as 4 to 5 hours.

Make your black sesame ice cream fancier

Here are some extra tips to make your ice cream taste even better.

1. Add texture to the ice cream

Ingredients such as white chocolate chunks or chips, macadamia nuts, and oreo cookies add great texture to the ice cream. Pick one ingredient you love and chop it into small chunks, then fold it to the black sesame and condensed milk mixture (between steps 3 and 4 of the recipe below).

2. Add a garnish

Some of my favorite garnishes include toasted black sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and fresh mint leaves. Fresh berries are a great option too.
