Black sesame roll

The black sesame roll is a delightful sweet treat often savored as part of a dim sum meal in Hong Kong and various Chinatowns around the world. This dessert is renowned for its smooth, soft texture, making it a favorite among many.

To create these delectable rolls, a thin layer of black sesame paste is first dried until it forms a delicate sheet. Once the sheet is ready, it is refrigerated to set, and then carefully rolled into individual portions. The result is a delicious, refreshing dessert typically served chilled.

If you ever find yourself in Hong Kong or a Chinatown abroad, don’t miss the opportunity to try this unique and delicious dessert!
