Easy 3-Ingredient Black Sesame Nice Cream Made in the Food Processor

Here’s a delicious 3 Ingredient Black Sesame Nice Cream recipes that’s healthy, easy to make and delicious!

Let me share with you a three-ingredient nice cream recipe and perhaps my new go-to dessert. A recipe for black sesame nice cream. By now, you know I love black sesame seeds; well, I found yet another way to enjoy them!

To make black sesame nice cream, you need frozen bananas, toasted sesame seeds finely ground into powder and your sweetener of choice — that’s monk fruit extract for me but try it with honey if calories are not an issue for you.

Bananas give the frozen dessert a creamy texture without relying on dairy, while sesame seeds are the dominant flavor. Think of a nutty, slightly smoky flavor and a gritty texture that reminds me of cookies and cream.

If you have twenty minutes to spare and a few ripe bananas around, there’s no excuse not to stock your freezer with healthy and delicious nice cream. Isn’t that nice?

• Bananas – best when ripe. The sweetest ones are yellow with brown spots.
• Maple Syrup or Honey – you can use honey for this recipe but for vegan options, you’re welcome to use other sweeteners of choice like maple syrup, agave syrup, or liquid stevia. You can also use granulated sugars, such as coconut sugar (be careful though, as it will change the color) or monk fruit sweetener.
• Black Sesame – pre-toasted and ground into a powder in a small blender or spice grinder.

How to Make

How to Make this black sesame nice cream Healthier

• Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, seeds and old-fashioned oats to add texture and nutrition before freezing.
• For a protein boost, you can also add a tablespoon or two of protein powder of your choice when blending. I’ve tried using an unsweetened plant-based protein powder with good results.

What are some ways you can eat these?

• In a bowl or cup, drizzled with honey, maple syrup, caramel or chocolate syrup
• Stacked on a waffle or sugar cone

How to Store black sesame nice cream

• This black sesame nice cream is best eaten within 1-2 days. The longer it is left frozen the harder it’d be to scoop. For the best nice cream consistency, take the container out of the freezer and let sit out at room temperature for 10 mins. If it’s in a microwaveable container, you can also microwave it for 15 seconds until softened.

Final Tips

• Use ripened bananas for the best results!
• While a food processor will give you the best consistency for the black sesame nice cream, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender to ensure the best results.
