Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine sesame powder, cream, and syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer for couple minutes. Stir to ensure everything is well mixed, then strain the mixture.
2. Using a handheld mixer, beat the egg, egg yolk, Allulose, and salt for a couple of minutes on medium speed.
3. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the strained sesame cream to the egg mixture until the ingredients are fully combined.
4. Refrigerate the sesame cream mixture overnight or for at least 4 hours.
5. While the mixture chills, place the ice cream freezer bowl in the freezer overnight.
6. Give the mixture a good whisk before pouring it into the ice cream maker.
7. Turn on the ice cream maker and, as it runs, pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl. Let it mix until it thickens, which typically takes about 12-17 minutes. The ice cream will have a soft and creamy texture. If you prefer a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Remember to remove it from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

What is Allulose?

Allulose is a low-calorie sugar substitute and sweetener that has gained popularity as a healthier alternative to traditional sugars in recent years. It’s a rare sugar, a monosaccharide, and can be found naturally in foods like wheat, figs, and raisins, though it’s typically produced through the enzymatic conversion of fructose from corn. Allulose is distinct in that it provides sweetness comparable to regular sugar while containing very few calories. Importantly, it has no effect on blood sugar levels, making it suitable for people with diabetes. It has a similar taste to sugar and is frequently used in various food and beverage products to reduce calorie content while maintaining sweetness. Allulose has gotten a lot of attention because of its potential health benefits and role in sugar reduction in the food industry.
