Instructions
Step 1
Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, or until steaming.
Step 2
Whisk the tahini, honey, egg yolks, salt and 40g of the sugar until fully combined.
Step 3
Gradually whisk the hot milk into the tahini mixture until completely combined. Transfer mixture to saucepan.
Step 4
Place saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula. Cook until temperature reaches 82°C on an instant-read thermometer (about 3–4 minutes).
Step 5
Pour mixture through a sieve into the tub. Place tub into an ice bath. Once cooled, place storage lid on tub and freeze for 24 hours.
Step 6
While the base is in the freezer, make the sesame brittle. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
Step 7
Heat the remaining 20g of sugar in a small saucepan over medium–high heat for 3–4 minutes. While heating, swirl the sugar in the saucepan but do not stir as it may crystallise. When sugar turns into a deep amber caramel and measures 170°C on an instant-read thermometer, immediately add sesame seeds, stir to combine, then pour onto prepared baking tray. Leave to cool completely then break sesame brittle into small pieces and store in an airtight container if not using immediately.

Remove ice cream base from freezer, remove lid, then place tub in outer bowl. Install paddle into outer bowl lid and lock the lid assembly on the outer bowl. Place bowl assembly on motor base and twist the handle right to raise the platform and lock in place.
