Chef's Tips from Aberdeen Street Social
Sesame Paste Quality
Use high-quality black sesame paste for the best flavor. You can make your own by grinding toasted black sesame seeds.
Custard Technique
Don't let the custard boil or it will curdle. Cook slowly and stir constantly for a smooth, creamy base.
Texture Perfect
Strain the mixture to remove any lumps and ensure the smoothest possible ice cream texture.
