Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the black sesame paste with 1/4 cup of the cream until smooth and loose.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the remaining cream, confectioners' sugar, with the vanilla and salt to stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the black sesame paste mixture in two additions until evenly combined.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with a long filling tip. Poke a small hole in the side of each cooled doughnut and pipe in about 2 tablespoons, until the doughnut feels heavy.
Tips
- Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Ugandan (bold, chocolatey, smoky), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
- Storage: Refrigerate for up to 2 days; keep filled doughnuts chilled.
