I always thought of this as an Asian peanut butter - has a nutty and toasty flavor, and can be used in a sweet or savory context. If you have a food processor you probably won’t need the oil, just some patience and time.

When you try this you going completely feel in love with it Make sure you drink enough water great for the holiday season you will never feel bad of eating them

The use of black sesame paste makes this a perfect balance of sweet and nutty. Optionally mix in some black sesame seeds for more nuttiness and crunch :)

I had leftover sesame paste, so I dissolved that into milk and hardened it with gelatin to make pudding.The reason why you chill the bottom of the pot in ice-cold water after the gelatin is dissolved is to prevent the sesame paste and milk from separating. It also hardens much faster if you cool it down and stir to thicken before pouring it into a container.If you don't cool the mixture down thoroughly, it will form two layers. It's also tasty that way. For 4-5 servings. Recipe by nana recipe
