Ingredients
- 100 grams black sesame seeds
- 500 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 30 grams erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 milliliters water
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by roasting the black sesame seeds. Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat and add the black sesame seeds.
Step 2
Stir constantly for about 5-7 minutes until the seeds become fragrant and start to pop slightly. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 3
Once roasted, let them cool for a minute before transferring them to a food processor or a blender. Process the seeds until they form a fine powder or paste.
Step 4
In a saucepan, combine the black sesame paste with water and unsweetened almond milk.
Step 5
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to gently simmer.
Step 6
Add the erythritol (or your chosen sweetener), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir to dissolve the sweetener completely.
Step 7
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the soup while whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps. This will help thicken the soup.
Step 8
Continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly until the soup reaches your desired consistency.
Step 9
Remove the soup from heat and let it cool slightly. If you prefer an ultra-smooth texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your liking.
Step 10
Serve the soup warm. Optionally, garnish with a few toasted black sesame seeds or a sprinkle of erythritol for a touch of sweetness.
