How To Make Black Sesame Pudding At Home
Are you a fan of Asian black sesame desserts? If the answer is yes, then you will love Japanese black sesame pudding.
The color of black sesame pudding is greyish, so if you don’t know that it’s black sesame pudding, you might doubt how tasty it will actually be. However, once you try it you’ll immediately realize why it’s such a beloved dessert in Japan! The flavor is nutty, mild, and it has a sweet taste. The pudding itself is smooth too, like traditional custard pudding (which we already have a recipe for.)
Black sesame seeds are rich in calcium, which helps to strengthen bones and teeth. Additionally, they contain polyphenols, which are pigments that prevent premature aging. Finally, the skin of black sesame seeds is also quite high in iron. That’s why it is recommended to regularly consume black sesame seeds. Though black sesame seeds are very healthy, consuming a lot of them at once is not easy. That’s where this black sesame pudding comes in to save the day!
Even though this recipe is called “pudding”, the process of making it and the ingredients are quite different from custard pudding. In the case of black sesame pudding, we are going to use gelatin to get the correct texture instead of baking it, for example.
Many supermarkets and convenience stores sell black sesame pudding in Japan. However, it is usually sold as a limited or seasonal flavor, so you may be only able to find it during certain times of the year.
If you’re a lover of black sesame pudding and want to eat it any time, don’t worry! In this recipe, we’re going to show you how to make it at home. The best part about this recipe is that it uses simple, readily-available ingredients, and does not take long to make.
It is the perfect dessert or afternoon snack to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. We hope you’ll try making our recipe at home, and let us know how it went in the comments below!
