Black Sesame Marble Cheesecake

Jan 27, 2018 ·

This black sesame marble cheesecake is no-bake, gorgeous, and such an interesting play on flavors. Using black tahini, it adds a savory, nutty hint to the cheesecake that you just don't normally come across. It comes together so quickly and is not too sweet, and perfect for warmer weather. This black sesame marble cheesecake is a sophisticated take on cheesecake that is sure to impress!

Marble cheesecake, y'all! And this REALLY looks like marble. I saw this on BuzzFeed Tasty Japan and translated/adapted the recipe to English below. Forgive my amateur photo below, this was taken before I got better at food photography. I'll reshoot it soon! LOL

The black sesame adds a nutty flavor that complements the richness of the cream cheese, and I added toasted sesame seeds into base for extra sesame flavor. Also, the final product is so pretty!
