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:
- Bake pie crust in oven according to package directions. (I used a whole wheat pie crust, to very good results!).
- To make filling, crumble tofu into blender. Add all remaining ingredients except Fruit Topping; blend well.
- Pour tofu mixture into prepared pie crust, and bake at 350 F for 35-40 minutes.
- Cool first, then add your favorite fruit topping if desired.
Tips:
- Use silken tofu for a smooth and creamy texture. Regular tofu will result in a grainy cheesecake.
- Press the tofu well to remove excess moisture. This will help the cheesecake set properly.
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender to blend the tofu until it is very smooth. This will ensure that the cheesecake is light and airy.
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice will not give you the same bright flavor.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.
Conclusion:
This lemon tofu cheesecake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The cheesecake is also a good source of protein and calcium, making it a healthy choice for a sweet treat.
