Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Who needs to mash?! The following chocolate cheesecake recipe is very quick, requires no mashing and is tasty enough to get my non- vegan friends asking for seconds... Cheers, Matthew Vegan chocolate cheesecake ========================== Makes a (roughly) 10 " round cheesecake (enough for 8 people, or 6 very hungry eaters). Topping ------- 2 tubs Tofutti original flavour " cream cheese " Juice of 2 large oranges and 1 lemon 100g 70% cocoa plain chocolate 3 tbs maple syrup Vegan gelling agent (agar agar flakes, vegegel) Plain chocolate drops (or whatever) to decorate Base [*] -------- 400g Dairy-free digestives (e.g. Dove's Farm) 6 tbs maple syrup 100g Vegan margarine You can replace the digestives with oat cakes and/or cornflakes. If you use oat cakes, up the maple syrup a bit to counter the dryness and lack of sweetness of the oatcakes. You could also use Golden Syrup instead of maple syrup. Method ------ Turn the biscuits into crumbs (a food processor is good here!). For a wheat free version, partially crushed Rice Crispies sort of works. Melt the margarine and add the crumbs and maple syrup and stir until fully mixed. Press the results into a greased (margarined!) 10 " flan dish and put in the fridge to cool. Put the chocolate on to melt (in a bowl over a steaming pan of water). Juice the oranges and lemon and then do whatever your gelling agent instructs you to do! For agar agar flakes this involves warming the juice and then sprinkling a couple of teaspoons of flakes over. While the juice is warming and the chocolate melting, mix together the maple syrup and Tofutti. The result should be fairly liquid with a light brown tint; a sort of very thick cream consistency. Add a bit more maple syrup if this doesn't look right... Once the chocolate is melted and the juice has had the gelling agent added and dissolved into it, mix first the juice and then the chocolate into the cheese mix and stir until thoroughly uniform in colour. The mixture should now be a lot more solid, though still just about pourable. Take the base out of the fridge and (if it's holding together enough) turn it in the dish to loosen it if it's stuck to the bottom. Pour the mixture onto the base and level off. Put back in the fridge to chill and fully solidify. This probably takes a couple of hours. Decorate shortly before serving. , Peter VV <swpgh01 wrote: > > Never tried the cheesecakes, always seemed so fidly, mashing up tofu etc? > > The Valley Vegan...........

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 maybe in the imported food section sounds like a graham cracker Peter VV Jun 20, 2007 12:33 PM Re: Re: Deserts / Puds Dont you have digestive biscuits ( cookies??) over there?

Matthew Faupel Jun 20, 2007 12:37 AM Re: Deserts / Puds Who needs to mash?! The following chocolate cheesecake recipe is very quick, requires no mashing and is tasty enough to get my non-vegan friends asking for seconds...Cheers,MatthewVegan chocolate cheesecake ========================== Makes a (roughly) 10" round cheesecake (enough for 8 people, or 6 very hungry eaters). Topping ------- 2 tubs Tofutti original flavour "cream cheese" Juice of 2 large oranges and 1 lemon 100g 70% cocoa plain chocolate 3 tbs maple syrup Vegan gelling agent (agar agar flakes, vegegel) Plain chocolate drops (or whatever) to decorate Base [*] -------- 400g Dairy-free digestives (e.g. Dove's Farm) 6 tbs maple syrup 100g Vegan margarine You can replace the digestives with oat cakes and/or cornflakes. If you use oat cakes, up the maple syrup a bit to counter the dryness and lack of sweetness of the oatcakes. You could also use Golden Syrup instead of maple syrup.Method ------ Turn the biscuits into crumbs (a food processor is good here!). For a wheat free version, partially crushed Rice Crispies sort of works. Melt the margarine and add the crumbs and maple syrup and stir until fully mixed. Press the results into a greased (margarined!) 10" flan dish and put in the fridge to cool. Put the chocolate on to melt (in a bowl over a steaming pan of water). Juice the oranges and lemon and then do whatever your gelling agent instructs you to do! For agar agar flakes this involves warming the juice and then sprinkling a couple of teaspoons of flakes over. While the juice is warming and the chocolate melting, mix together the maple syrup and Tofutti. The result should be fairly liquid with a light brown tint; a sort of very thick cream consistency. Add a bit more maple syrup if this doesn't look right... Once the chocolate is melted and the juice has had the gelling agent added and dissolved into it, mix first the juice and then the chocolate into the cheese mix and stir until thoroughly uniform in colour. The mixture should now be a lot more solid, though still just about pourable. Take the base out of the fridge and (if it's holding together enough) turn it in the dish to loosen it if it's stuck to the bottom.Pour the mixture onto the base and level off. Put back in the fridge to chill and fully solidify. This probably takes a couple of hours. Decorate shortly before serving. , Peter VV <swpgh01 wrote:>> Never tried the cheesecakes, always seemed so fidly, mashing up tofu etc?> > The Valley Vegan...........
