Ingredients

• 2 cups double cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup dark rum
• Pinch of salt
• Chopped nuts or chocolate chunks are optional

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine double cream and whole milk. Warm the mixture until it begins to steam but avoid boiling.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened. Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
3. Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a smooth texture. Allow the custard to cool slightly, then stir in vanilla extract, dark rum, and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to enhance the flavors.
4. Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the last few minutes of churning, add in chopped nuts or chocolate chunks if you want extra indulgence. Transfer your ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for a few hours or until firm.

Instructions:

1. Combine the shredded carrots, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a small saucepan and cook on medium-low heat until the carrots are soft. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to help it cook down. Stir frequently to prevent burning and set aside to cool once cooked.

Vegan Black Sesame Ice Cream

For an unusual, yet undeniably delicious treat, this ice cream by Chez Jorge does not disappoint. As if black sesame-flavored ice cream weren’t unorthodox enough, it also includes an optional recipe for a soy sauce caramel topping. Both components are 100% vegan and come together easily without an ice cream machine.

Black Sesame Banana Bread

The Great Banana Bread Trend of 2020 may be behind us, but this recipe is one that we’ll continue to turn to for years to come. Cassava flour makes it naturally gluten-free, while coconut sugar and ripe bananas provide a touch of sweetness without being overbearing.

Black Sesame Macarons With Apricot Buttercream

This recipe by Emily Laurae swaps the more obvious choice of black sesame filling with a fresh and floral apricot buttercream. The result is a light, flavorful macaron that perfectly strikes the balance between nutty and fruity.

Not Waiting Until the Ice Cream Machine is Cold

Some people get jumpy and don’t wait until their ice cream machine is cold enough. They believe it won’t matter if it’s not completely cold. Well, it does matter as it has to be “ice cold,” according to Bon Appetit, to give you the perfect ice cream.

Using Low-Fat Dairy

The dairy fat is the thing that gives ice cream its creaminess. You can opt for low-fat, but don’t expect anything special in that case.

Opting for Low-Quality Ingredients

Beware of the additional ingredients that you add to your ice cream. Opt for quality chocolate chips and fresh fruit if you want the ice cream to be full of flavor.

Overfilling and Over-churning

Doing too much of anything is usually not good and that is the case when it comes to making ice cream. Avoid overfilling your ice cream machine and stop churning at the right moment if you don’t want more ice than ice cream.
