BLACK SESAME ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the heavy cream, 3/4 cup milk, the black sesame paste and black sesame powder in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is steaming. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup milk, the egg yolks, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
• Ladle half of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking, then pour this mixture into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
