Black sesame soup is a classic Chinese dessert which is normally served hot. It doesn’t really take much time to prepare this popular black sesame dessert, and the process is fairly simple.
In traditional Chinese medicine, black sesame is believed to have many health benefits, including keeping your hair black and healthy. In this recipe, I have added white sesame seeds to balance the slight bitterness and more pungent taste of black sesame.

Tips:
- Extra sesame seeds can be toasted in advance and keep refrigerated in airtight container.
- Add extra glutinous rice flour or reduce water for thicker soup consistency.
- If you choose to sweeten with rock sugar, dissolve it using hot water before adding in as it takes longer time to completely dissolve.
- For variations, you may add roasted peanut, almond or walnut to the ingredient.
- Press the mixture through fine sieve to achieve a fine smooth sesame soup.
