It's good... no kidding! Vegan or not, this dessert is a great dairy free treat. This works for people with diabetic and/or heart disease diet guidelines. Prep time is really chill time... there are about 5 minutes of actual busy work for this recipe, 35 minutes of baking and 2 hours of chilling.

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 lb silken tofu
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon tahini
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soymilk (rice milk is also ok)
1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, maple syrup and almond extract.
  • Mix until the graham cracker crumbs are moistened.
  • Prep a 9 inch springform pan by spraying the bottom and sides with nonstick oil spray, or by oiling with a paper towel.
  • Tip crumb mixture into the prepped springform pan and press it evenly on the bottom.
  • Bake the crust for 5 minutes, then remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
  • Blend all the filling ingredients in a food processor (or blender) for about 30 seconds, or until smooth.
  • Pour filling into the springform pan over the cooled crust.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until the top of the cheesecake is lightly browned.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool.
  • Place the cooled cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until it is thoroughly chilled and firm.
  • To serve, take a long knife and heat the blade in hot hot water.
  • Slide the blade of the knife along the edge of the cooled cheesecake to ensure that it will separate from the pan.
  • Release the springform ring, slice, sprinkle with slivered almonds if desired and serve cold.

I don't recommend this recipe. The cheesecake was too tart and the texture was too dense.

This cheesecake is just okay. It's not as good as some of the other vegan cheesecakes I've tried.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cheesecake is a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of tofu, but this cheesecake is surprisingly good. I would never have guessed that it was made with tofu.

This cheesecake is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

This cheesecake is a bit more tart than I expected, but it's still very good. I think next time I'll add a little more sugar to the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cheesecake turned out perfectly. The crust is graham cracker, and the filling is creamy and lemony. It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

This lemon tofu cheesecake is a delightful surprise! I never thought tofu could be used to make such a creamy and flavorful dessert. The lemon flavor is bright and tangy, and the cheesecake has just the right amount of sweetness.
