🛒 Ingredients

✓ 3 tbsp black sesame paste (or ground black sesame)
✓ 150ml unsweetened oat milk
✓ 100g silken tofu (soft, blended)
✓ 1.5 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
✓ 2 tbsp hot water (for paste dissolution)
✓ 1 pinch sea salt
✓ 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of ground ginger (optional, enhances warmth)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Bloom the Black Sesame: Pour 2 tbsp hot water into a small bowl. Add 3 tbsp black sesame paste and stir vigorously for 60 seconds until fully smooth with no lumps. Let rest for 1 minute to hydrate.

2. Prepare the Silken Tofu Base: Add 100g silken tofu to a blender. Pour the bloomed sesame paste into the blender (reserving 1 tsp for garnish if desired). Do not blend yet.

3. Heat the Oat Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat 150ml unsweetened oat milk over medium heat until steaming (65–70°C), about 3–4 minutes. Do not boil—oat milk breaks with high heat.

4. Blend the Creamy Base: Pour hot oat milk into the blender with tofu and sesame. Add 1.5 tbsp monk fruit sweetener, 1 pinch sea salt, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, and optional ginger. Blend on high speed for 45 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.

5. Strain for Silky Finish (Optional): For ultra-smooth texture, pour blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into serving cups, pressing gently. This removes any tofu graininess. Skip if you prefer thicker consistency.

6. Serve Immediately: Pour strained latte into 2 tall cups. Top with 1 tbsp almond milk foam and crushed black sesame seeds. Drizzle 1/2 tsp tahini over foam for depth.

7. Taste & Adjust Sweetness: Sip and adjust: add extra monk fruit (1/2 tsp at a time) if needed. Black sesame pairs better with subtle sweetness than aggressive sugar.
