How to Make Better Than Tofu Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- 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.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
- Once chilled, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan and serve. Garnish as desired (optional: fresh berries, vegan whipped cream).
