Introduction
This appears to be a common fan favorite from the book. It’s a relatively straight-forward recipe that requires a little bit of skill and is a bit unique. While this seemed like a recipe for success, the final product fell a bit flat. It was simply a bit plain and boring. It’s a recipe worth trying if you like the ingredients, but it needs more excitement if it wants to truly stand out.

Making The Crust
Tip: We chose to use Nilla wafers instead of graham crackers. Nilla wafers and their vanilla-taste goes particularly well with Nilla wafers, although graham crackers are a fine choice.

Key Takeaways
- Make sure to use quality, toasted sesame seeds. You can easily toast your own sesame seeds in a pan, but make sure to keep a close eye on them.
- Final Score: 2/5 – We didn’t find this dessert particularly tasty even though it had a lot of the right elements. It did taste a bit better the second day after sitting in the fridge longer (at the cost of the stiffness of the cream), but not enough to change the overall score.
