Tofu Cheesecake

[Guest guest]

1 1/2 pounds silken tofu

1 cup sugar

12 oz. soy cream cheese

1 T vanilla extract

1 Graham cracker pie crust (see below)

1 cup {per cake} fresh berries, any kind (optional)

Have all the ingredients at room temperature. Preheat the oven at 325

degrees. In a food processor or blender, puree the tofu until smooth.

Add the sugar, soy cream cheese, and vanilla, processing until smooth.

Scrape down the sides as necessary. Pour the tofu mixture into prepared

pie crust and bake for 50 minutes, until slightly browned. Turn the oven

off, leaving the cake in the oven for 1 hour. Remove and cool to room

temperature. Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. Serve slightly

chilled, garnished with fresh berries. Makes 2 9-inch cheesecakes.

If you're longing for chocolate cheesecake, simply add to this recipe 1/2

cup unsweetened cocoa and an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.

 

Graham Cracker Pie Crust

2 cups graham crackers crumbs (about 16 whole crackers)

6 T soy margarine, slightly softened

Process the graham crackers in a food processor or blender on high speed

until they are finely ground. Add the margarine and pulse until the

mixture reaches the consistency of coarse crumbs. Pat the mixture into a

thick layer in the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, or 2 thinner

layers in 9-inch pie plates. Fill and bake according to the recipe

instructions.

A 'fiasco' is a complete failure. The word comes from the glass blower's

art in ancient Venice. If a fine glass crystal was ruined by mistake the

only way the glass blower could salvage it was to turn it into a

'fiasco', the Italian word for an ordinary drinking flask.
