Sesame Blancmange (It's Black!, Not White)

"Could be diabetic and vegan. This is not a white blancmange, but a black blancmange. Unusual?? Found this on a Japanese website, www.cookpad.com. Mianbao helped with the translating. Thanks! I used a combination of soymilk and milk and artifical sweetner. I added a pinch more black sesame powder. If you cannot by black sesame powder at your grocery store,or Asian grocery store, in a blender or food porcessor, blend/process the black sesame seeds. Try with white sesame seeds, too, to have a real white blancmange. Very healthy, too. This is not made with heavy cream (which is loaded with saturated fat), and according to Chinese herbal medicine, black sesame keeps your hair black."
