Tips
- Stir the paste well in its jar first. The oil separates as it stands.
- If your paste is sweetened, cut the sugar by 1 tbsp.
- No paste? Grind 5 tbsp toasted black sesame seeds in a spice grinder until they turn into a damp paste.

Why it works
Sesame paste is about half fat, so it replaces some of the cream and gives a dense, nutty texture. Adding the milk slowly keeps the base smooth, with no gritty lumps.
