Ingredients
- 150 grams black sesame seeds
- 50 grams glutinous rice flour
- 100 grams pitted dates
- 1000 ml water
- 250 ml almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the black sesame seeds under cold water. Spread them out on a dry towel and allow them to dry for a few minutes.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the black sesame seeds. Stir them continuously until they become fragrant and start to pop, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Once done, let them cool.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, blend the toasted black sesame seeds until they become a fine powder.
Step 4
Now add the pitted dates and a small amount of water to the blender. Blend them together with the sesame powder until a thick paste forms. Add more water as needed to help the blending process.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour with a small amount of water to create a smooth slurry. This will help thicken the soup later. Set aside.
Step 6
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the remaining water to a boil. Slowly pour in the sesame-date mixture, stirring continuously.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the glutinous rice flour slurry while stirring to prevent lumps. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Finally, stir in the almond milk and heat the soup through without bringing it to a boil. This will enrich the flavor and ensure a creamy texture.
Step 9
Serve the black sesame soup warm in bowls. Enjoy this naturally sweet treat as a delightful dessert or cozy snack!
