Black Sesame Dessert Soup

Recipe by Tam To on InstagramAdded 13 November 2026.

10 minutes to prep, 5 to cook. A silky, nutty dessert soup featuring black sesame, toasted walnuts, and a hint of coconut. The warm purple rice adds comforting body, while optional maple syrup or honey provides gentle sweetness.

Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat and toast the walnuts for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

  2. Add the sesame seeds to the pan and continue toasting for an additional 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.

  3. In a blender, combine the warmed purple rice, toasted sesame seeds, toasted walnuts, 1 cup of boiling water, coconut milk, salt, and, if desired, maple syrup or honey.

  4. Blend on high speed for 3–4 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  5. If you prefer a hotter serving, transfer the blended soup to a small pot and heat over medium heat for 2 minutes, then ladle into bowls and serve.
