Preparation Steps
1
Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
2
Let the sesame seeds cool, then grind them into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.
3
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, brown sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
4
In a saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream. Add the freshly ground black sesame powder and stir constantly until the sesame flavor is infused into the cream.
5
Slowly pour the sesame-infused cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Transfer the mixture to a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (double boiler). Cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
6
Remove the cream mixture from the heat and let it cool completely. If desired, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any sesame seed particles.
7
Pour the cooled mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the parfait is solid.
8
Before serving, garnish the top of the parfait with a sprinkle of toasted black sesame seeds for an even more intense flavor.
