Smooth Sesame Tofu

Directions

1. 1
   Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it soak (for about 20 minutes).
2. 2
   Combine the sesame paste, sugar, heavy cream, and soy milk in that order in a bowl, mixing as you go.
3. 3
   Gradually stir these in little by little, especially the soy milk.
4. 4
   It should look like this after everything is added.
5. 5
   (It's very watery.)
6. 6
   Boil some water in a pot, and place the bowl of gelatin over the pot of hot water.
7. 7
   Place the bowl of ingredients over the same pot of hot water to double broil.
8. 8
   When the gelatin has dissolved and the bowl of ingredients has slightly warmed, add the gelatin to the bowl of ingredients (keeping the bowl over the double broiler).
9. 9
   Mix very well.
10. 10
    Gently pour into a mold to prevent air bubbles, and chill it in the refrigerator.
11. 11
    After about 2 hours, it's done.
12. 12
    Here it is after it has set.
13. 13
    I cut this into 6 equal pieces (my mold is 10.5 x 15 x 5.5 cm).
14. 14
    Black sesame version: With black sesame, the grains of sesame will be settle, so I stir it up once more after chilling it for a while.
