Ok i know it sounds Gross but try it out! WAY BETTER than normal cheesecake. I've made this several times and everyone loves it .
INGREDIENTS
* 1 (12 ounce) package soft tofu * 1/2 cup soy milk * 1/2 cup white sugar * 1 tablespoon vanilla extract * 1/4 cup maple syrup * 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. In a blender, combine the tofu, soy milk, sugar, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and pour into pie crust. 3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool; refrigerate until chilled.
**** HELPFUL HINTS!!!**** i have given this recipe to others and they complained its too runny. the problem that everyone has with the cheesecake being runny is mostly attributed to the tofu. you need to press the tofu and remove a lot of its excess moisture prior to using it in the recipe. just draining the water from the tofu package isnt enough. after removing the tofu from the package and rinsing it off, wrap the tofu in some thick paper towels. then press down on the tofu, not so hard that it squishes, just enough to moisten the paper towels and remove some excess moisture. you may have to do this a few times over before youve removed a sufficient amount of water from the tofu.
ANOTHER WAY could be To fix the texture issues use either medium or firm tofu (both work), added a few tbsp flour (1 to 2), and baked WAY longer than specified (almost 50 minutes with medium tofu). Also decreased the sugar a tad and sometimes add a splash of lemon juice to liven it up a bit. YUM!
