Recipe Notes

Instead of the whipped cream, you can also top with black sesame paste, kinako, roasted soybean flour and kuromitsu, Japanese black sugar syrup.
If the sesame paste isn’t available, you can toast sesame seeds and then thoroughly grind them to use in this recipe. It will not be as smooth as the sesame paste but you can still enjoy this delicious dessert.
The sesame paste goes great with the milk and heavy cream.
