For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
Black sesame paste is a classic Chinese dessert. Usually ground with rice in a stone mill, this is an easy hack version that you can make any day. All you need …
I just made it, it came out very nutty but it was very good. Next time I'll use less peanut butter
Looks great and easy.
What do you guys recommend adding this to? I've only seen it before in 湯圓 but am trying to think of what else I could make this for
I put in a few white sesame before toasting. Once the white sesame is turning brown, it's ready.
Love the recipe, have been missing this dessert for awhile, thank for sharing the easy version! 🙂
super recipe! 🙂
According to my mum, toasting the sesame is not essential but is more aromatic. She prefers the un-toasted version as it is supposedly more healthy. As with everything food related.. personal preferences differ for lots of people. My childhood memory of this is the black sesame paste is silky smooth, I have tried making this many many years ago using more traditional methods… it was messy and a lot of work.
I’m not sure if I would like the grainier version with the peanut butter, may conflict with my childhood memories hahaha. But I’m sure many others would love it… I have seen in some Chinese dessert places where the offer a mix of peanut and black sesame paste.
A couple of tricks I learnt from my late grandmother.. you can add a small amount of white sesame in with the black to check the browning on the white sesame as a guide for the black sesame.
My grandma used the chinese brown sugar (in the block form) as it has a richer caramel flavour.
I feel like you could do rice… if you’re going to cook it on the stove anyway
Peanut butter?! 🤯
this is one of my favorite desserts too, especially with tang yuan 😀
Love this stuff. Even I can make this. Thanks!
at least the pink Tommy shirt is clean this time.. LOL
