The Creamiest Tofu Cheesecake in the World
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup almonds finely ground
- 1/4 cup sugar crystals unrefined
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 16 ounces silken tofu
- 16 ounces tofu cream cheese
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- The butter or margarine is to be melted.
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
- For the crust, in a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the ground almonds and sweetener.
- With a fork, blend the butter, spread or margarine into the mixture until it clings together when you press a teaspoon of it between your fingers.
- Turn the mixture into a 8-inch springform pan.
- With your fingers or the back of a soup spoon, spread and pat the crust until it covers the bottom of the pan.
- Keep working the crust up the sides of the pan to a height of about 1 inch, leaving it thicker around the bottom edge, where the sides and bottom of the pan meet.
- Make sure the crust is thinner around the top edge.
- Bake the crust 8 minutes.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
- For the filling, puree the tofu in a food processor.
- Add the cream cheese and process to blend.
- Add the sugar and eggs and process to incorporate them completely.
- Blend in the lemon juice and vanilla.
- Finally, blend in the arrowroot.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust, filling it to within 1/2-inch of the top.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 60 minutes.
- The cake will be golden on top, slightly browned around the edges, and still puffed and jiggling in the center.
- Turn off the heat but leave the cake sitting in the oven for 60 minutes.
- (It is ok to peek quickly once or twice.)
- The warm cake will still be just soft to the touch in the center.
- Set the cake on a rack and let cool to room temperature.
- Cover the cake lightly with foil and refrigerate overnight before serving.
- Notes: The cake will taste delicious once it is chilled through, but only reaches full creaminess after being refrigerated 8 hours, or overnight.
