This delicious and unconventional black sesame dessert breathes new life into the pudding treat many use to pack in their school time lunches. Prepared by Chinese medicine student and food blogger Jessica Tan from 'TCM Foodie,' this black sesame pudding is light, aromatic and full of health benefits.
Thanks to the black sesame component, this dessert is ideal for increasing kidney function and naturally boosting longevity. Another added benefit to this delicious treat is that it's naturally sweetened with ingredients like honey and Goji berries. The pudding is made from a combination of toasted sesames, Glutinous rice flour and salt. The end result is a beautifully rich black custard filled with superfood ingredients and health benefits.
Aging consumers are transitioning their favorite nostalgic desserts into healthier and simpler alternatives, using superfood ingredients that mimic the flavor and consistency of their predecessors, but are better for the body.
