black sesame brittle
10 pieces — 20 minutes
Sesame brittle looks impressive when served over desserts, like small pieces of black coral.
It's simple to make, but requires all of your attention. The sugar syrup becomes solid when cool, so all steps must be done quickly. These are no-bake, and are ready to eat almost instantly.
These are best served over desserts that aren't too sweet, the sweet of the sesame brittle can be a bit overpowering, we suggest serving it with fruit, or kanten (agar agar based desserts).

- Prepare baking sheet lined with a baking mat, keep a flat spatula close by.
- Put the 45g (1/4 cup) of natural brown sugar and 1.25 ml (1/4 tsp) of vanilla extract in a pot at medium heat.
- Stir constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add 35 g (1/4 cup) of black sesame seeds. Mix thoroughly.
- This part is tricky, the mixture solidifies very quickly. You need to do this fast! Take the pot, and pour its contents out onto the baking sheet. With the spatula spread and flatten it out as much as you can.
