How to Make Lime Ginger Tofu Cheesecake Nondairy

  1. Drain a 14-ounce block of silken tofu and press between several layers of paper towels on a large plate. Top with a heavy pan or plate and let sit for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Pulse until finely ground.
  4. Add ¼ cup melted vegan margarine to the crumb mixture and mix with your fingers until evenly moistened.
  5. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and partway up the sides of the prepared springform pan. Set aside.
  6. Zest 1 lime and juice 2 limes (about ¼ cup lime juice).
  7. Crumble the pressed tofu into a high-powered blender. Add the lime zest, lime juice, ¼ cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  8. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  9. Pour the tofu mixture into the prepared crust.
  10. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and only slightly jiggly in the center. Do not overbake.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to firm up.
  13. Serve chilled with your favorite vegan whipped topping, fresh kiwi slices, or strawberries.
