Tahini Ice-Cream
Hello my almond butter loving friends. If you're new to HEAB, you may like to subscribe to my RSS feed or receive my posts via email. Thanks for reading!
Tahini ice-cream topped with bananas and sesame seeds.
Ingredients:
Into the Vita-Mix went:
- 1 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk Original Creamer
- 2 TBSP tahini
- 2 tsp honey
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
Directions:
- Blend. Pour into ice-cream maker and follow freezing instructions.
This recipe was nutty, refreshing, slightly sweet, and SO delicious. You may never see it on the menu at Baskin Robbins, but it’s going to be a regular in the HEAB kitchen.

yum this looks sooooooo good!
I hear ice cream makers are addicting!! my sister makes ice cream pretty much everyday!
That is awesome! Oh the possibilities with the right appliances on hand. I’m amending my appliance wish list to include a vitamix. Looks delicious
YES PLEASE!!!
Yeah… a little weird, but I’m feeling it.
Brilliant! Must…get…tahini.
Ok Heabs, I can’t lie. This sounds weird. But you know what? I trust your taste buds. I would eat it.
Oh my gosh, this sounds so wonderful!!! I’ve been enjoying tahini and jam on toast ever since my almond butter ran out the other day, and I’m now a convert for tahini + sweetness. Wish I had an ice-cream maker! YUM!
LOL I that this might be it after your hazelnut creation last week.
your creativity never ceases to amaze me!
Great job! Thanks for the tempeh suggestions. I made it last night. It was great. I made tahini, lime, honey, olive oil dressing to go with in on my spinich salad. Thanks again HEAB!
So glad you liked it.
you rock
Puttin’ that So Delicious to the most excellent of uses, aren’t you
Thanks for the little note yesterday, I feel very loved knowing so many people care
Random acts of kindness make the world go round, thanks for being you

hmm another great idea… things are forming in my little head for my GM tomorrow!
Another fabulous idea! You are so creative over there!
woo I’m proud of myself for being right — and YOU for making such a great recipe! yummm
haha. I was close!
Holy heck! I just said, “Oh no she di’int.” Our tongues are on the same wavelength…I tried to make something like this last night but used too much guar gum and it tasted like paste. Boo.
HORRAY FOR TAHINI ICE CREAM!!!
of course she did.
I love it! You’re so adventurous!
You drive me crazy with ice cream envy!
Wow. That looks soo good!
I guessed before you started teasing! Does this mean I’m psychic now?
(Haha. No.)
Do you think that something else could be substituted for the So Good creamer? They don’t sell anything like that here in Aus. (Or any creamers at all for that matter!)
Reigne – you could try the tahini ice-cream with coconut milk or cashew cream: http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/2009/04/18/heat-the-salmon-butt/
wow.. this looks really yummy.. I HAVE to get an ice cream maker!
wanted to thank you for inviting me to dinner last night.. it was so much fun! I can’t wait for us to get together again…
Kim, Yes, so good to see you again. Let’s hang out again…sooner than later.
wow – this tahini thing has become out of control! haha. Looks great!
WOW, super different. I must say, I would not think to make ice cream out of tahini. Somehow you make it looks delish. I dont have an ice cream maker
Might have to vary this one a tad!!
Wow, sounds neat! Love your creativity
<3 jess
Mercy.
You’re awesome Heather. I really am wishing you lived closer to me. Tahini ice cream? No one else but you and I love it.
Love it! I will try almost anything in ice cream form
Looks delish!
damnnnnnnnnnnn gurl. that sounds amazing
Oh my goodness, Heather. You are certainly the most creative tahini user in the blogworld! I have so many new things to try with my tahini rather than just using it to make hummus.
How does the calorie content stack up on this? Do you think it’ll work for those of us not wanting too many calories..? I REALLY need to find a place that sells that creamer! You are so creative, Heather!!!
Vicki, The creamer has 160 calories per cup. 2 TBSP tahini has 190, and 2 tsp honey has about 40 calories. Therefore, the whole serving contains 390 calories or 195 calories per 1/2 cup. I also made a batch using just *1 TBSP* tahini and *1 tsp* honey bringing the calorie count down to 260 for the whole serving. I thought it was really good, but doubling those 2 ingredients does add more flavor. If you use soy, you could try making a lighter version with silken tofu and soy milk.
im SO inlove with your tahini creations.
daaang !
HEABS you’ve out-done yourself. I’m a bit afraid to ask about the calorie count- any idea what a 1/2 cup serving would be??? Just curious.
BTW I have my TAHINI smoothie concoction in my brain and I shall try it out tomorrow- your challenge really made my brain spew smoke and almost blew a fuse!! Keepin’ me on my toes, HEABster!
Deb, Can’t wait to read about your tahini smoothie! Calorie info. for ice-cream: The creamer has 160 calories per cup. 2 TBSP tahini has 190, and 2 tsp honey has about 40 calories. Therefore, the whole serving contains 390 calories or 195 calories per 1/2 cup. I also made a batch using just *1 TBSP* tahini and *1 tsp* honey bringing the calorie count down to 260 for the whole serving. I thought it was really good, but doubling those 2 ingredients does add more flavor. If you use soy, you could try making a lighter version with silken tofu and soy milk.
Wow…yum! I just stuffed myself with Heidi’s double broccoli quinoa and am now hungry again!
Looks like you’re having a paaartay with your ice cream maker–I know I do! Ha ha. Just made some pumpkin pie ice cream yesterday–heavenly! I like to use guar gum for a chewier ice cream, it’s really good!
hahah OMG who would have thought?!?!? I love coming to HEABS to check out what new ideas to play with my food. I guess tahini ice-cream would kind of be like sesame ice-cream in flavor no? I can imagine it would be yummy with red beans in it too. hehehe
LuckyTasteBuds,Yes, sesame flavored ice-cream. So delicious!
I guessed right!! I didn’t think it was possible, but man this looks GOOD!!
Mmmm… this sounds so delicious! I am in love with my ice cream maker – I’ll have to whip up a batch of this sometime!
This sounds wonderful!! I don’t have an ice cream maker because I always make ice creams without one. I’ll definitely try your recipe and see how it turns out without using an ice cream maker. It looks so good!! Can’t wait!
Thanks!
