Ingredients You’ll Need for Black Sesame Popsicles
- Milk – Condensed milk will make the popsicles rich, creamy and sweet. Canned coconut milk gives a fun tropical flavor that pairs so well with black sesame paste.
- Black sesame paste – It gives an incredible color to this treat. Since black sesame paste tastes JUST like tahini, you can use either one for this recipe!
- Freeze-dried strawberries – Used as garnish. Strawberries go so well with these popsicles!

How To Make Black Sesame Popsicles
- Blend. Add all the ingredients to a blender, except for the freeze-dried strawberries, if using. Pour popsicle mixture into popsicle molds.
- Freeze popsicles for 2 hours then add the popsicle sticks. Continue freezing for another 5 hours to overnight.
- Serve. Freeze a parchment paper line sheet pan for 30 minutes. Remove popsicles from their molds then freeze on the prepared sheet pan for another 30 minutes. Serve with crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
Tips and Tricks
Can’t find black sesame paste? Use tahini instead! It has the exact same flavor!
If the black sesame paste looks separated(oil and paste) add all of it into the blender and pulse until emulsified.
Use a blender. That way it will be easier to combine the sesame paste with the milk without it clumping up!
Make it ahead! These popsicles can last for several weeks in the freezer without any problem!
Recipe FAQs
I found my black sesame paste at an Asian grocery store. You can also look in the International Foods aisle at larger grocery stores.
Black sesame paste has a nutty creaminess that works well with coconut and strawberries! Vanilla and blueberries would taste lovely as well!
