Light Creamy Baked Tofu Cheesecake

This dessert is a delectable twist on traditional cheesecake, made with silken tofu. Not only does tofu add a silkiness not found in other cheesecakes, but it also adds a delightful touch of healthiness. This creamy cheesecake is not overly sweet and leaves you feeling satisfied without the carb-loaded guilt.

Directions

80 min.
1. Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). While the oven is heating up, place the drained silken tofu and the soaked cashews in a blender. Remember to drain the cashews well before blending; the excess water might make your cheesecake too soggy.

2. Step

Add the lemon juice, cane sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Allow the blender to run for a couple of minutes, ensuring that there are no lumps. The smoother it is, the better your cheesecake will be.

3. Step

Pour the tofu mix into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Ensuring it's evenly spread. This ensures your cheesecake will bake evenly and have a uniform taste.

4. Step

Bake for 60 minutes, until the top of the cheesecake is lightly browned. After baking, let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open. This will prevent sudden temperature change that causes a cheesecake to crack.

5. Step

After cooling at room temperature, refrigerate your cheesecake for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results). This step is critical as it allows the cheesecake to set, giving it a firm and velvety texture.

6. Step

Before serving, let the cheesecake sit out for about 10-15 minutes. It releases the flavor more effectively and results in a more satisfying dessert experience.
