Black Sesame Pudding

Another Recipe from "Okashi Treats" by keiko ishida. If you love black sesame paste dessert, you'd love this sweet pudding. I bought this black sesame paste specially for the black sesame chiffon cake recipe in this book. I made it successfully but did not feel like posting because the pictures taken of it was awful. *lol* I was lucky to have found this in an organic store around my neighbourhood where I live. I couldn't find black sesame paste anywhere else.
The paste are rather sticky and in big clumps. I had to wear a glove to separate the clumps!

My parents and dd doesn't seem to appreciate something more extraordinary. *lol* I lke it anyway. It has the texture of a red bean pudding that I had in a Chinese Dim Sum restaurant.
Have a go at it if you like. ;)

AiMei: I like the taste of black sesame also, but it's hard to find black sesame paste here. I only managed to get black sesame powder. I tried black sesame swiss roll before, and it turned out great :)

oh thats the organic black sesame paste i got too! but its so ex, like $7+ or $8 rite? phoon huat used to sell at just $3 a big jar but too bad they don't carry anymore. another place to buy is meidi-ya at liang court but that one is even more ex, like $10 or so coz its direct import from japan. its easy to find white sesame paste though. i'm trying to ask yuehwa chinese goods store to bring in the black one coz its a pity coz they hv all the chinese condiments but no black sesame paste!

Oh i bought it for $6.10, they were offering it for a discount. Yeah meidi-ya has all the jap condiments and flour. I found a soy bean flour kinako there and taste great! i used it to make chiffon cake. ;)
