CHOCOLATE TOFU CHEESECAKE
Not quite vegan, but tofu does make up the bulk of the creaminess in this lower-fat, higher-protein crustless version of chocolate cheesecake. Be sure to refrigerate the cake overnight for best outcome. You may want to make a cookie-crust with crushed Oreo® cookies and butter. Using a high-quality cocoa powder will greatly improve your results.

TOFU CHEESECAKE
OK, I'm vegetarian, but I do occasionally eat dairy & eggs. And I just love cheesecake! In fact, I posted an "ovo-lacto" cheesecake recipe (New York Style Sour-Cream-Topped Cheesecake, Recipe #313572). But when the nutrition wizards at RecipeZaar did their calorie/fat count, I fell on the floor! So, here's a vegan variety, made with tofu. It's even sugar free! (I use maple syrup as the sweetener and it comes out really yummy.) The tahini adds a bit of a bitter, "cheesy" tang--you can cut down on the tahini or omit it altogether, if you don't like the taste. I can't wait to see how this compares in the fat/calorie count to that other recipe! (This recipe is adapted from "The Tofu Cookbook" by John Paino and Lisa Messinger.)

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.
Tips:
- Use extra firm tofu: This will help the cheesecake hold its shape and give it a creamier texture.
- Press the tofu well before using: This will remove excess moisture and help the cheesecake set properly.
- Use a high-quality vegan cream cheese: This will give the cheesecake a rich and creamy flavor.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating can make the cheesecake dense and crumbly.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the cheesecake to set properly and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
This tofu cheesecake is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional cheesecake. It's made with simple ingredients that are easy to find, and it's surprisingly easy to make. The cheesecake is creamy and flavorful, with a slightly tangy flavor that is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the crust. Whether you're a vegan, lactose-intolerant, or just looking for a healthier dessert option, this tofu cheesecake is sure to please.
