Eiko, I've been strictly reducing my sugar intake, but I do allow

myself some once every couple of weeks.... the other day DH & I found

a new dessert place here, and they have amazing stuff. Anyway (and I

can't believe I haven't posted this yet) - I had a chocolate cake

layered with an intense green tea buttercream (it was definitely tea

flavored, and barely sweet - yum!). It was topped with a fancy

chocolate butterfly and toasted black sesame seeds, and served with a

small scoop of black sesame seed ice cream! It was amazing. I think

the ice cream you could make pretty simply by softening a good vanilla

and stirring in ground toasted black sesame... then refreeze. Anyway,

it was delicious!

OH MY DROOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL. That sounds incredibly AMAZING!!! Refreezing ice

cream is usually not a good idea...maybe softening just enough to stir in the

seeds & serve immediately. Or just sprinkle them on top. Could you ask ask

somebody from where you had it how it was made? Oh WOW, does that cake sound

fabulous. I'm gonna make one. Thanks for the inspiration!!
