Mango and Black Sesame Rice Pudding
The Instant Pot is the perfect vessel for rice pudding, gently cooking the rice and milk until creamy without the risk of burning. Eggs are carefully added at the end, making the pudding thicker and more luxurious. Black sesame paste, an Asian treat, adds sweet nuttiness. If you can’t find it at a supermarket near you, make your own. Grind up 1 heaping tablespoon black sesame seeds using a spice grinder or small food processor. Once well-ground and paste-like, combine with 1 tablespoon honey.
