Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup black sesame seeds , raw or toasted
  • 2 Tbsp honey, maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 1 Tbsp refined (flavorless) coconut oil , melted (can add up to 3 Tbsp coconut oil if using it for mochi or steamed buns)

Instructions
 

  • Finely grind the black sesame seeds in a small blender or spice grinder
  • Add honey to taste. I used 2 Tbsp but you can always add more or less to control the sweetness.
  • Mix in melted coconut oil one tablespoon at a time, until a desired consistency is achieved.
    NOTE: For thicker pastes to be used for mooncakes, use 1 Tbsp of coconut oil. For a creamier filling to be used for mochi and steamed buns, use up to 3 Tbsp of coconut oil.
  • Cool the sesame seed filling in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the filling hardens enough to be scooped.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the black sesame paste filling into 1-2 Tablespoon sized portions
  • Use for mochi and mooncakes.
