Sesame Honey Gelato: A Unique Dessert Experience

Preparation is Key

Before you start making this exotic gelato, ensure your ice cream maker’s bowl is frozen and ready to go. This recipe yields about 1 quart of creamy goodness, with a total preparation time of 35 minutes, plus 10 hours of chilling and freezing.

Easy yet Elegant Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Cooking the Base

Combine 2 1/4 cups of milk, cream, honey, corn syrup, sesame oil, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk frequently until the mixture starts to steam, about 15 minutes.

Thickening the Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup milk, cornstarch, and dry milk until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium low. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 8 minutes.

Chilling and Toasting

Strain the mixture into a heatproof bowl and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Freezing and Serving

Freeze the gelato base in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fold in the toasted sesame seeds with a rubber spatula once the gelato is almost set. Serve immediately for a soft gelato, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze until solid. Allow the gelato to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving if frozen solid.
