The First Sesame-Based Frozen Dessert
We use seeds for our ice cream base, not nut milk, coconut meat, or soybeans. While most plant-based ice cream brands neutralize the flavor of their base ingredient and focus on creating classic, nostalgic flavors without cow's milk, we embrace sesame butter as a star ingredient and highlight its rich, delicious taste.
You'd be surprised at just how many flavors tahini pairs well with! Our exceptional flavors include cardamom pistachio, cinnamon date, tahini chocolate fudge swirl and walnuts, dark chocolate, and vanilla halvah. Made with all-natural ingredients, each serving is high in protein and serves as a good source of fiber, iron, and calcium.
Why Tahini?
Made from roasted sesame seeds that are ground and pressed into a paste, tahini has a subtle nutty taste that enhances sweet and savory dishes. It has been a staple in Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern plant-focused diets for generations.
Small yet powerful, sesame seeds are often hailed as superfoods due to their rich content of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. They are also a good source of protein and fiber, making them a nutritious addition to your diet and an ideal foundation for our nondairy ice cream.
Our Story
Hila Krikov, founder of Sweettahini, relocated thousands of miles from her small hometown near Tel Aviv to Lubbock, TX, where familiar food ingredients were nearly impossible to find. Pre online shopping era, the family hit the southwest roads in search of tahini, date syrup, and other beloved pantry staples. At home, Hila turned to her kitchen to recreate some of her most cherished childhood dishes.
Years later, after the family moved to the Northeast, Sweettahini was launched to introduce tahini-centered goods to US consumers. From flavored tahini spreads to sesame-based bread to tahini chocolate fudge and date tahini rolls, sweettahini takes pride in pioneering tahini-based desserts in the US.
Today, the brand focuses on disrupting the frozen dessert space with its forthcoming tahini-based nondairy ice cream.
