Items used

Instructions

Place a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add sesame seeds and stir constantly, until toasted (you will hear few seeds beginning to pop, about 5 minutes). Transfer seeds to a plate and cool completely.
Add toasted sesame seeds, cardamom pods (or ground cardamom) and salt into a food processor or any grinder. Process until it makes a powder, add sweetened condensed milk and process until finely ground. (If you have difficulty blending, then add about ¼ cup of the heavy cream, to help the machine run smooth).
Add heavy cream into a large bowl, beat with a hand held electric beater, until it forms stiff peaks.
Add about a third of the ground paste and gently fold using a rubber spatula. Fold remaining ground paste in two additions, until thoroughly combined.
Transfer mixture into a standard loaf pan (or ant freezer safe container), cover and freeze at least 6 hours.

Notes

Don't burn sesame seeds - As they are black, it can be difficult to say whether you are burning or not. We recommend stirring them constantly, over medium heat and take them off the heat when you hear a few seeds begin to pop. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely.

Store cooled toasted sesame seeds for several weeks in a sealed bag or container.

Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping.

Use some cream to help grinding smooth. If you have a hard time grinding the seeds and condensed milk into a smooth paste in the processor, then add about ¼ cup of the reserved heavy cream to help the machine run smooth.

Feel free to use vanilla extract instead of cardamom.
