Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of tahini, 1 cup of coconut milk, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of caramel sauce.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the tahini, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps of tahini remaining.
- Once the mixture is well combined, taste it to adjust the sweetness or flavor if desired. You can add more maple syrup or vanilla extract according to your preference.
- Transfer the tahini mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning the ice cream. Typically, this process takes about 20-30 minutes until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the tahini mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours to break up any ice crystals until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Once the tahini ice cream is ready, scoop it into serving bowls or cones. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of each serving. You can also swirl the caramel into the ice cream for added flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious tahini ice cream with caramel sauce! You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
Tips
- Quality Matters: Use high-quality tahini for the best flavor. Look for smooth, well-mixed tahini without separated oils.
- Chilling is Key: For the smoothest texture, chill all ingredients before mixing to help the ice cream freeze more evenly.
- Ice Cream Maker Alternative: If you don't have an ice cream maker, the freezer method works great—just remember to stir frequently to prevent ice crystals.
- Flavor Customization: Experiment with adding a pinch of sea salt or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for extra depth.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the perfect scoopable consistency.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This dessert can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer, making it perfect for entertaining.
