This is an excellent base recipe for a healthy dessert. And it doesn't get much simpler. Oranges and fresh mint would go well with this. Okara [the soy residue from soy milk manufacture] would be a good substitution for the tofu although the dessert would be a bit heavier, if you could not get tofu .
