Tofu Cheesecake

It came out sort of okay, was a little too dry. It didn't really taste too much like "cheesecake", but more like just a sweet sugary dessert. It looks good though. I didn't really taste the soy, so that was good. I ate it without any fruit on top, so maybe will try some to see if it helps with the dry texture while eating it.

Used extra firm silken tofu for a creamier texture and baked a little longer than suggested so that it would form up more. It’s a new, easy favorite!

I enjoyed this recipe very much, but it may not be for everyone. The texture is creamy and soft like a cheesecake, but the distinct taste of tofu is subtly in the flavor. I also did a few modifications. I added 2 eggs and baked for 35 minutes because even 30 was not enough. I am still slightly debating with myself if I should've done 40 for a more firm texture. You do not need to use silken tofu, but you have to make sure the tofu is blended. My blender is kinda weak, so I manually mashed the tofu with a fork and mixed in all ingrediants minus eggs (saved half of vanilla extract for later). I did that until the consistency was like cottage cheese. Then, I blended the eggs in the blender, and slowly added more crumbled tofu. When the load was a bit too much for my blender, I scooped up some soft tofu from the bottom and pushed more solid tofu down. This forced the solid tofu to get blended. Once it was all silky smooth, I scrapped everything out of the blender with a spatula back into the mixing bowl and added the rest of the vanilla extract, then let it set in fridge overnight. Mother said it smelled of vanilla that following morning. The baking part went surprisingly well. I poked the cake with a toothpick to check if done after 25 minutes and it was too liquidy. 10 more minutes made it well. I used a cake pan and the sides came off surprisingly easy! Definately gonna bake again and maybe add a few more modifications.

I added 1/4 cup of flour. After an hour it was still very soft so I left it for another hour at 250. The texture isn't consistent and it kinda separated a bit. It's a bit wet. Flavour is somewhat like cheesecake. I made a strawberry sauce for on top.

Quick and easy, good basic recipe for cheesecake, I flavored with lime juice and added shredded coconut for a key lime flavor

Love it! It’s not cheesecake but it’s very good. I added strawberry topping and fresh strawberries. I had to bake almost 50 minutes.
