Sesame Tofu Dessert

Quick and Easy dessert! If you prefer a firmer texture, try extracting excess moisture of the tofu by wrapping with a clean tea towel and place a plate on top of the tofu. Leave for about 15 minutes. Sugar is omitted in this recipe as the sesame powder that I used contains sugar.

°         mint leaves and sesame seeds (optional), for garnish
