Easy, quick, and perfect for those little sweet strikes. Sesame seeds are an incredible source of calcium, so enjoy! I make this for my Daddy (as you can see) all the time (He loves it and he’s not raw!) Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Ground Sesame Seeds (I did 3 coffee grinder's worth)
  • Pure Salt (just a little pinch)
  • 1 tablespoon Organic Flax Oil or Coconut Oil (liquid)
  • Raw Liquid Honey

Preparation

Mix all ingredients, adding liquid honey until the mixture becomes a pastey, lovely dough. Place in an oiled (coconut, flax, or olive oil) container and refridgerate (or eat right away).

Not at all…just in an ordinary bowl and spoon. Of course, you need to grind the sesame seeds, but that was done in the coffee grinder.

You’re cute Pianissima! Love it! Hope you enjoy it.

Samilicious, I’m not sure how long it lasts. We were gone on a 3 week trip and we just left it in the fridge. My Dad finished the rest of it when we got home. I think it’s fine for a long while in the fridge.

Just a thought, you could use wax/baking/parchment paper instead of oiling the tray. That’s what I usually do and it works great. This sounds great. I’m gonna make some too right away!!

Yes, you could do that too…for myself, I find just oiling it is quicker. Hope you love, love, love it! :0)

I just made it. I just played with the taste cuz I don’t think my coffee grinder’s the same size as yours, but it turned out yummy. Yours is a lovely off-white. Mine is more beigy. I guess it depends what kind of sesame seeds you use. Thanks for this super easy recipe!

This looks so good, I’m gonna make it tonight! Can you actually buy a big bag of sesame seeds? My mom got me a tiny packet of the seeds from our local grocery store so I’m only going to be able to make a small sample size of the dessert.

Veggielina, the sesame seeds we buy are in bulk. It’s cheaper and you can buy heaps more. Have fun with the sample size! ;)
