Black Sesame Caramel Frappé

October 8, 2019 by Rachael Ng Leave a Comment

Halloween is around the corner, and I am in the mood for all things spooky! I’ve never been super into dressing up, but give me the best horror movies, pumpkin everything, and all things cutesy and festive! I think I’ve checked out the same Halloween section at the store no less than five times already. But anyways, when Torani reached out to me about creating a Halloween themed drink with one of their delicious syrups, I was so in. With nutty black sesame, lots of buttery, rich caramel flavor, and a bit of activated charcoal coconut powder for that hint of Halloween, this Black Sesame Caramel Frappé is just what I needed. And let’s just say I was way too satisfied with the work of my sugar sprinkle rims.

Once you’ve got the toasted black sesame powder – which is super simple to make! – you’ll basically add all of the ingredients to a blender and you’re all set and ready for a lightly caffeinated, sweet and icy beverage! I added a whopping 6 Tbsp of the Torani Caramel Syrup to this recipe (which serves 2) because I just couldn’t resist, but feel free to play around with the syrup and add 2 or 4 Tbsp as the suggested serving size is 2 Tbsp per 1 cup of liquid. I topped it all off with whipped cream, extra black sesame powder, and black sesame seeds. For even more sweetness, feel free to add a caramel drizzle! And head over to www.Torani.com to get your hands on their Caramel Syrup!

Some of the ingredients I like for this recipe:

Coconut cream gives this recipe a creamier texture. You can opt for 2 cups of frozen coconut cream, or skip it all together and use ice.

Sugar adds a touch more sweetness. Feel free to adjust to your liking.

Toasted black sesame powder is a delicious and nutty add-in that pairs so well with the rich caramel syrup flavor.

Torani Caramel Syrup is a quick and easy way to deliver caramel goodness to these frappés. Plus, you can use it to create endless recipes, or just add a spoonful to your morning coffee for a buttery caramel flavor!

Activated charcoal coconut powder is a natural way to make these frappés darker in color. It is tasteless in this recipe, and adds depth to the gray.

Yield: 2 Frappes

Black Sesame Caramel Frappé

A delicious and creamy frappé made with nutty black sesame and sweet Torani Caramel Syrup! A vegan-friendly treat to get you in the mood for Halloween!

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups ice or frozen coconut cream
  • 2 tsp espresso powder
  • 1/4 cup toasted black sesame powder
  • 4-6 Tbsp Torani Caramel Syrup, depending on taste
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 2-3 tsp activated charcoal coconut powder (optional)**

Instructions

  1. Make your toasted black sesame powder. Place 1/4 cup of black sesame seeds (or more if you desire to have extra!) in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the seeds begin to toast - you'll notice a strong nutty aroma and, if using stainless steel, the pan will begin to smoke. Remove from heat and blend toasted seeds in a food processor or blender until the seeds breakdown into a chunky powder.
  2. In a blender, add the ice or frozen coconut cream (or mix of both), espresso powder, black sesame powder, Torani Caramel Syrup, sugar, milk, and charcoal coconut powder. Blend until smooth.
  3. Serve immediately and add your favorite toppings - whipped cream, caramel sauce, black sesame powder, or sprinkles!

Notes

  • You can empty out one to two cans of coconut cream into ice cube trays (or onto a parchment lined baking sheet) and freeze for a creamier drink
  • Your black sesame seeds must be toasted in order to blend into a powder as the toasting softens the seeds
  • Recipe can be halved for one serving
  • For the sprinkle rim, melt 2 Tbsp of chocolate chips. Use a mini spatula to lightly spread chocolate around rim of glass. Douse in sprinkles and immediately chill in the refrigerator
  • **Disclaimer: activated charcoal may reduce or prevent absorption of certain medications, drugs, or supplements

Vegan Black Sesame Coconut Milkshake

January 30, 2019 by Rachael Ng 5 Comments

So I’ve been on a bit of a black sesame kick lately (i.e. I made black sesame powder from a giant bag of seeds and now I want to put it in everything). They’re nutty and delicious, and there’s just something about making desserts gray that is just so neat to me.

Now black sesame ice cream is nothing new,  but this Black Sesame Coconut Milkshake is vegan, low in sugar, and made with very few ingredients. And it’s delicious! The black sesame powder is like a flavor bomb for this milkshake. That’s why I really only recommend you make the powder yourself. It’s super easy, and you’ll be left with lots of yummy black sesame powder to do as you please.

This recipe does take some major prep time – you’ll need to freeze your coconut cream ahead of time. So if you’re in the mood for a milkshake, like, right now, then this recipe probably isn’t for you. But if you’re willing to wait a day, then read ahead and get to freezing! Happy milkshaking!

Black Sesame Coconut Milkshake
Serves 1-2

1 can full fat coconut cream
3 Tbsp agave
3 Tbsp nut milk
1/4 cup toasted black sesame powder*
Dash fine sea salt

1.) The day before, pour your coconut cream out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze. If your can of coconut cream is separated/solidified, then scoop and pour it all into a heatproof bowl and microwave until smooth; then freeze.

2.) Break up the frozen coconut cream and add the pieces to your blender. Add the agave, nut milk, sesame powder, and salt. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!

*Black Sesame Powder

1.)  Toast a bag of black sesame seeds by heating them in a clean pan over medium heat. Stir frequently until you begin to smell the sesame seeds – you should notice a very distinct nutty aroma.

2.) Immediately blend the sesame seeds in a blender or food processor until you have a fine meal. Store “powder” in an airtight container at room temperature.
