Toasted Black Sesame Frozen Yoghurt

frozen yogurt recipe @ Recipes From A Pantry

In my mind, hot summer days always call for deliciously cooling treats like ice cream and frozen yoghurts. So I dust off my ice cream maker and clear a permanent space for it in the freezer. Well permanent until sometime well into the autumn.

Then I get creative with frozen yogurt combinations. Mini chefs definitely have their own ideas too which somehow always seem to involve raspberry. This year I was determined to beat all my previous frozen yoghurt creations.

I literally went into the pantry and looked though all the things that I would not automatically pair with cool sweet treats. And there they were – those rather loveable black sesame seeds. OH had a rather incredulous looks on his face when he saw ingredients on the counter top.

This is a pretty simple recipe actually with only 3 ingredients. Crushed toasted black sesame seeds, a dribble of honey and good Greek yoghurt like Total Greek –  throw them in an ice cream maker, and sit back and watch as this deliciously different toasted black sesame yoghurt comes out.

OH’s verdict – I would eat this again – high praise. Should I add in lemon. Nope. Should I add in more honey, nope Bintu, I would leave it exactly as is.

So I left it as it and I love it.

Notes

Toasted Black Sesame Frozen Yoghurt Tips

  • Since I used a very thick strained Greek yoghurt it only took 10 mins in my ice cream maker.
  • Mine was a very thick mixture that I could not pour in through the funnel of the ice cream maker. I had to open up the machine and add in the mix before pressing go.
  • You can add in a tsp or 2 of tahini if you want a stronger sesame taste.
  • You can buy black sesame paste in Asian shops. I reckon you should substitute in about 2 tbsp paste instead of 3 tbsp seeds.

  1. I love black sesame ice cream but haven’t been able to get it in ages due to COVID, so I I just tried this recipe at home for the first time. It is AMAZING! It brought a smile to my face and completely made my day. I used a high-protein skyr because I didn’t have greek yogurt, but it still worked perfectly. I honesty think I like this better than the black sesame ice cream from the ice cream shops! So in love with this recipe. I’ll be making this all the time now!

  2. I just gave the recipe a try as I just got an ice cream maker. Tho, I used 4 tbsp black sesame seeds and 4 tsp of maple syrup to it… it’s refreshing for my taste, tho it is still quite sour as plain Greek yoghurt like. The black sesame taste is not strong (perhaps I should try make it from seeds myself) and definitely not sweet enough for my hubby’s taste. Nevertheless, it’s a simple and creative recipe to improvise upon! Thanks!

  3. I love that this recipe uses just a little honey and I bet that those sesame seeds offer great texture as well as looking absolutely gorgeous! x

  4. Hello. The photo on Tastespotting led me here. I love black sesame. I just had black sesame ice cream last night, but haven’t tried the frozen yogurt version. Yum.

  5. This is a stunning photo Bintu and such a lovely creation. I love black sesames with ice cream and very happy that you have introduced me to a healthier version of this delicious treat!

  6. I never ever would have thought of putting those in there! Really different, I look forward to finding out what other flavours you come up with!

  7. Totally neglected my ice cream machine for years. I am inspired by this simple but ingenious recipe, have all the ingredients in the fridge. Now all I need is to dust off the machine and stick it in the freezer overnight.This will be dessert this weekend, for sure. Do you know how to make the sun shine?

  8. So want to tuck into this ice-cream now. Your photos are just fab. I have a packet of black sesame seeds sitting in the cupboard and I’ve not known what to do with them – until now!

    1. It is super nice. It is easy to make so I think that you prob could try and beat it by hand.

  9. Just had to update my virus protection, so this is my 3rd attempt, but at least all the spam ads are gone. Love this ice cream and feeling a little sad that I gave my ice cream maker away (no room in new freezer).

  10. How very original Bintu, looks and sounds totally deliciously delightful!. I’ve so got to try this, I know I’d LOVE it. Well done you, clever lady.

  11. 5 stars
    I have to try this. I love Black sesame seeds and in ice cream, well frozen yoghurt they will be amazing. Thanks for the easy recipe. My ice cream bowl is always in the freezer – I’m ready with yoghurt. GG
