Sesame Pulp Balls
2-ingredient, super easy and delicious recipe to use up the sesame pulp that remains after making sesame milk
If you make sesame milk and drain the mixture (which is optional, but recommended if you want your drink smooth), you will get some sesame pulp.
This pulp has a mild sesame aroma and taste, so it’s a great addition to bliss balls or dips.
However, in this post I will be sharing my go-to recipe when I get sesame pulp: sesame pulp balls.
This recipe is really the simplest thing ever (no baking involved!), and yet incredibly delicious.
In fact, my family love these small sesame balls so much that they ask me to do sesame milk (which they don’t enjoy specially) so they can have the pulp balls!
Ingredients
Do you want a vegan version?
Feel free to swap the honey for maple syrup. Rice syrup also works great.
Probably agave nectar will also work, but I haven’t tried it.
Instructions
Time needed: 10 minutes
How to make small bliss balls with sesame pulp
- Combine ingredients
Add honey or maple syrup to the sesame pulp and combine with a spoon until the mixture has a dense paste texture.
- Make balls
Form small balls by rolling one teaspoon of dough in your hands.
- Decorate
Optionally, roll them in sesame seeds.
Tricks and tips
- Make sure you squeeze the sesame pulp as tightly as possible when draining the milk.
If the sesame pulp is too mushy, you won’t be able to form balls with it.
(If your pulp turned too moist to form balls, I recommend using it for dips instead of making this recipe) - The dough is quite soft, so be gentle while forming and rolling these sesame balls.
- Add-ons: you may add a little amount of tahini to make these balls creamier.
Ground cinnamon also goes wonderful in these balls.
