How to Make Better Than Tofu Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine the silken tofu, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth and creamy. If using, add the cashew cream here as well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  6. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent it with foil.
  7. Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
  8. Once chilled, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan and serve. Garnish as desired (optional: fresh berries, vegan whipped cream).
