This scrumptious Asian dessert is low-fat, low-carb., and low-sodium. What makes this pudding black are black sesame seeds, which are naturally sweet and have a deliciously unique flavor. They are also very healthy, being an excellent source of calcium, iron, magnesium, protein, and essential fatty acids (EFA). Thai influence on this traditional Chinese dessert can be found in the addition of coconut milk and peanuts. Makes a scary-delicious Halloween dessert!
