Questions

What is Dasik?

Traditional Korean pressed tea cakes made from toasted grain and sesame powders bound with honey. These bite-sized treats are pressed into decorative wooden molds and served during tea ceremonies. This reference files it under Korean dessert: made without cooking, rated medium and about 20 minutes start to finish.

What can I use instead of honey in Dasik?

The entry for Dasik calls for 3 tbsp honey. In its place: Maple syrup or agave, measure for measure, which also makes it vegan.

Is Dasik vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 3 tbsp honey. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan dessert collection.

Does Dasik contain sesame?

Yes: 1/2 cup roasted black sesame powder and 1 tsp sesame oil. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, soy and sesame. Seeds used as a garnish can simply be left off; the oil has no true substitute. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

Can I freeze Dasik?

It is not a good candidate. Keep Dasik covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days. Chilled and set desserts lose their texture in the freezer.
