I’ve included the recipe for a simple black sesame paste but you can also use lotus seed paste, red bean paste, puréed chestnuts, taro paste, peanut butter, Kaya jam, chocolate sauce, Nutella, fruit preserves, just to name a few!No filling is also a great option!I wanted to make the crust simple with easy to find ingredients, so it’s not exactly a pineapple crust (as in the crust on the pineapple bun) but it’s very similar and it’s crispy. No crust is also an option. It’s actually how the original Hong Kong style baked tapioca pudding was made. Just finish with an egg-wash.
