beyondboulder.wordpress
2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons lukewarm water
about 3 tablespoons kuro neri goma, Japanese black sesame paste
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup milk
about 2/3 cup cream
Put the water in a small dish and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Set aside.Stir the sesame paste well to incorporate the oil and sesame solids. Put the sesame paste in a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix well. Next, stir in the milk a little at a time. Stir well to ensure that the sugar is fully dissolved.Microwave the softened gelatin for 20 seconds on high to melt it. Stir in a few tablespoons of the sesame-milk mixture. Then add the gelatin to the rest of the sesame-milk mixture and stir well.Stir the cream into the mixture. Place the bowl over another bowl filled with ice water and stir well until the mix begins to thicken. Finally, strain the mix and pour into custard cups or a gelatin mold.* if your neri goma has separated and is difficult to stir back together, try putting the lid on the jar tightly and leaving it upside-down for a few hours. It should be much easier to stir together afterwards. if you can’t find black sesame paste, it might be fun to experiment with tahini or another nut butter like peanut or almond.
