Notes

  • You can make the black sesame cream up to 3 days ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator to be ready for use.
  • Depending on the brand, black sesame powder is blended with sugar. Adjust the sweetness level of your black sesame cream based on your preference by tasting and adding more or less sugar. For this recipe, our powder contained sugar and we thought the sweetness was just right (aka not too sweet), but feel free to adjust accordingly.
  • You can whip the black sesame cream to your desired consistency. Some people prefer a thicker and denser cream, while others prefer a lighter and fluffier texture. Our recipe whips the cream to stiff peaks for a super thick texture that holds its shape when spooned or piped onto the coffee. Experiment with different whipping times to find your desired consistency.
  • To make whipped cream easier, place the mixing bowl and whipping cream in the freezer for about 5 minutes before whipping.
