Making Tahini Soft-Serve at Home — Five Delicious Flavor Options!

We know you all love our tahini soft-serve, but can't always get over to NYC's Chelsea Market. So, we're sharing a handful of recipes for making tahini ice cream at home in a Ninja Creami. No Ninja Creami? No problem! You can also make these recipes in a food processor, or blender (see our notes at the bottom for an alternative method).

Notes:

  • Most of these recipes are designed to work for both dairy and non-dairy alternatives. We've also tried to use natural sweeteners throughout.

  • When using the Ninja Creami, we found that adding a little extra liquid in between spins (see method below) created the optimal texture, but this depends on your personal preference.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup chopped mango chunks (frozen or fresh are both fine)

Pinch of salt

Chocolate Tahini Ice Cream (vegan)
1 cup almond milk or chocolate almond milk (chocolate oat milk or other milk of choice also work)
¼ cup Seed + Mill Chocolate Sesame Sauce
¾ cup coconut milk
2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (we prefer it less sweet) 
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Pinch of salt

Tart Greek Yogurt Tahini Ice Cream

Method for All Flavor Options

If using a Ninja Creami:

    1. For best texture, blend all ingredients in a food processor before adding to the Ninja Creami cup. (We also tested pouring all ingredients directly into the cup and shaking vigorously, without blending first — this worked well too.) 

    2.  Freeze the mixture in the Ninja Creami cup overnight.

    3. Spin once, then add 2–3 tablespoons of your recipe's milk (or liquid of choice) to loosen the texture, and spin a second time. We found two spins gave the best result.

    4. Once smooth and creamy, it's ready to enjoy!

If using a blender or food processor only:

    1. Blend all ingredients thoroughly.

    2. Freeze in a sealed container overnight.

    3. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes, then break into chunks and re-blend in a high-powered blender or food processor until smooth.

Sundae Toppings

Your choice! For every version, we highly recommend finishing with a drizzle of our Chocolate Sesame Sauce, a drizzle of Organic Tahini, a crumble of Toasted Sesame Halva, and fresh fruit.
