How to Make Chocolate Tofu Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, or in a double boiler.
  3. In a food processor or blender, combine 1 (14-ounce) package silken tofu, the melted chocolate, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Puree until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.
  6. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or other oil) and mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  7. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create the crust.
  8. Pour the chocolate tofu filling over the crust.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  10. Let cool completely on a wire rack before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
