- Опубліковано 26 жов 2024
- 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 are black sesame seeds, peanut butter, sugar, and water. Super easy and delicious.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups Black Sesame
1 ½ cups Unsweetened Smooth Peanut Butter
5 cups Hot Water
1 - 2 tbsp Rock Sugar, to taste
Recipe
Toast black sesame in a saucepan on medium heat. Be careful not to burn the sesame. Once it is fragrant, turn off the heat.
Put the toasted black sesame in a spice grinder or blender to grind into a fine powder.
Pour in the water, black sesame powder, and peanut butter in a pot on medium heat. Keep stirring to combine.
Add a knob of rock sugar or 1-2 tbsp of white sugar (to your preference) to the pot. Keep cooking the mixture down until the sugar is melted and the desired consistency is reached.
Serve hot.

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.
These are great tips. Thanks for sharing!! I think the black sesame and peanut butter can still be smooth as long as you make the black sesame super fine and use smooth peanut butter.
Love the recipe, have been missing this dessert for awhile, thank for sharing the easy version! :)
It’s a classic. Hope you like it!
I put in a few white sesame before toasting. Once the white sesame is turning brown, it's ready.
Great tip!! I’m going to add this too to the recipe. Mind was blown when someone told me about this.
Yes, the combination is delicious! Always order it that way!
Thanks for sharing. Sure, I will make it soon.
Love this stuff. Even I can make this. Thanks!
Yay! Let us know how it turns out.
this is one of my favorite desserts too, especially with tang yuan 😀
Tang yuan filled with MORE black sesame!
I will try it with Nutella. I don't like anything mixed with peanut butter.
I just made it, it came out very nutty but it was very good. Next time I'll use less peanut butter
Why aren’t you giving the proportion?
hard to find a budge blender to make pure tahini at home
Looks great and easy.
Yes! it's super easy.
How many tablespoon rice to add in the dessert?
Hmmm. I don't think we used rice in this version. We replaced it with peanut butter for a quick hack.
super recipe! :)
Thanks Jana!
at least the pink Tommy shirt is clean this time.. LOL
It’s not. Lol I filmed both episodes on the same day. Hahah
I spoke too soon! LOL I never seen this kind of pudding before!
How in the world is the 'easiest' version of the dish? The typical recipe is already so simple. It feels like you guys overcomplicated the whole thing extra blending steps and peanut butter. If you're trying to skip the rice soak (which really only takes an hour or more)... the real hack is simply glutinous rice flour.
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
Hahaha we eat this straight up like that and add the tang yuan in there.
@@KindofCooking duly noted!
Peanut butter?! 🤯
Smoooooth
I feel like you could do rice... if you’re going to cook it on the stove anyway
For sure, you would have to soak the rice overnight though. This is a quick hack 😉
You don’t know how to cheat. Sheesh
