Akdo Tahini Ice Cream tastes creamy and sweet, with tahini’s distinctive toasted, nutty sesame flavor. It is more savory and earthy than vanilla ice cream, though it is still served as a dessert rather than a savory dish.
Tahini Ice Cream combines a dairy ice cream base with tahini, a paste made from sesame seeds. Sweeteners and stabilizers can vary by recipe, so the exact ingredients of Akdo’s product are the ones listed on its package.
Tahini ice cream is made by blending sesame tahini into an ice cream base and freezing the mixture. At home, add tahini gradually to a chilled dairy base, mix until smooth, then churn it or freeze it while stirring periodically.
Akdo Tahini Ice Cream pairs well with chopped pistachios, walnuts, chocolate, or fresh fruit. Its sesame flavor is rich, so a small sprinkle of crunchy toppings or a tart fruit can balance the creaminess without overwhelming it.
Yes, you can make tahini ice cream without an ice cream maker. Freeze the tahini mixture in a covered container and stir it periodically as it firms up; the result may be less smooth than churned ice cream.
Tahini has a naturally rich, toasted flavor that many people describe as nutty, even though it is made from sesame seeds. That flavor carries through in Akdo Tahini Ice Cream and gives it a more distinctive taste than plain dairy ice cream.
Let Akdo Tahini Ice Cream sit out briefly before scooping so it softens enough to serve. Avoid letting it melt completely or leaving it out for an extended time, as melting and refreezing can make the texture icy and uneven.
Keep Akdo Tahini Ice Cream tightly covered in the freezer and return it promptly after serving. Use a clean scoop and avoid leaving the tub open, which helps limit ice crystals and preserve the product’s creamy texture.
It is best not to refreeze Akdo Tahini Ice Cream once it has fully melted and warmed up. Refreezing can make the texture grainy or icy, and ice cream left at room temperature for too long may not be safe to eat.
Yes, chocolate pairs well with Akdo Tahini Ice Cream because its sweetness complements tahini’s toasted sesame flavor. Try serving a small scoop with dark chocolate shavings or a brownie; both flavors are rich, so simple portions work best.

Tahini Ice Cream from Akdo is a sweet, creamy frozen dessert flavoured with tahini, the paste made from sesame seeds. Its roasted, nutty character gives it a deeper taste than plain ice cream, while the dairy base keeps the texture smooth and rich.
In Turkey, it can be enjoyed in a cone or bowl, often as a summer treat or a small dessert after a meal. Elsewhere, serve it by itself or alongside fresh fruit; it also works as a contrast to a simple cake or pastry. With 14 g of fat per 100 g, it is a rich dessert rather than a protein-focused snack. A modest scoop and fresh fruit make a balanced way to enjoy it without adding extra syrup or toppings.
