Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup toasted black sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup toasted white sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup allulose
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Grind the black sesame seeds in a spice grinder or mortar until they are fine and start to clump. Grind the white seeds separately.
  • Simmer the allulose, water and salt in a small saucepan for 1 minute until syrupy.
  • Divide the syrup between the two bowls of ground sesame and mix each into a firm dough.
  • Press small balls of dough into a dasik mold or a small cookie stamp, then tap them out onto a plate. Alternatively, roll into balls and press with the back of a patterned spoon.
  • Let the dasik firm up for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Grinding until the seeds release a little oil helps the dough hold together. If it is too crumbly, add a few drops of hot water.
Chef's Tip: Make two-tone dasik by pressing a little black dough and a little white dough into the mold together.
Keto Swap: Dasik are traditionally bound with honey or rice syrup. Allulose syrup holds them together with no impact on net carbs.
Success Tip: Wrap them in small paper cups and arrange them on a tray for a beautiful party or holiday dessert.
Nutrition is calculated from the ingredients and is an estimate per serving. Net carbs exclude fiber and allulose.
