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.
