Here is what I made last week that I have been dying to make for quite some time. Tofu Cheesecake! Yes, I know.. about 90% of people see this and are automatically turned off, but give it a chance! I made mine crust less because I didn't have any graham crackers lying around. Here is the recipe I used. I did cut this in half because the limited amount of cream cheese I had, and, well, because I would be the only one eating this and I was trying to not tempt myself too badly.
Filling:
1½ pounds silken tofu
12 ounces soy cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
Mix all of these ingredients in a mixing bowl until most of the lumps are out, making sure to lick the spoon because I found the batter delicious! :] Then you can pour the batter mixture into a round pan and cook for about 15 minutes. This is very flexible; the recipe said 20-25, but the top of mine was already brown by 15 minutes. Granted it may not be the prettiest thing, and the top was a little crispy, but I really enjoyed the outcome! I feel healthier eating this over regular cheesecake, even though it stills requires hefty amounts of cream cheese and sugar and probably isn't, but oh well! This is a great dessert when you want to try something different and use the spare tofu that's been sitting in your fridge.
I now have my new baby, my Canon G12!! Ahhh, I cannot tell you how excited I am to start taking some great shots with this beauty! I am getting my case in the next week and will be hopefully taking it everywhere and taking some amazing pictures. I cannot wait! Stay tuned!
I'll be in a Stand Up Paddle board race on Saturday at Tempe Town Lake with some of the girls from my work, come check us out! Have a grrrreat weekend!
