Hi Everyone-
I made a tofu cheesecake last night. I hadn't had cheesecake since I was diagnosed 6 years ago. I topped it with some fresh strawberries and a little bit of chocolate sauce. The recipe is from "The Whole Soy Cookbook" by Patricia Greenberg.
1 1/2 pounds silken tofu
1 cup sugar
12 oz. soy cream cheese
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Graham Cracker Pie Crust (store bought or homemade)
1 cup fresh berries, any kind (to put on top)
**MAKES 2 9-INCH CHEESECAKES**
1. Have all ingredients at room temp. Preheat oven to 325 F.
2.In a food processor or blender, puree the tofu till smooth. Add the sugar, soy cream cheese, and vanilla, processing until smooth.
3. Pour the tofu mixture into your prepared pie crust and bake for 50 minutes, until slightly browned.
4.Turn oven off, leaving the cake in the oven for an hour. Remove and cool to room temp.
5.Refridgerate the cheesecake overnight. Serve slightly chilled with fresh berries.
I hope you all enjoy this. Make sure to divide the recipe in half if you are only going to make one cheesecake.

Have you tried the Better Than Cheesecake in Heather's eating for ibs book? I just got hte book a few weeks ago and have tried a few other things, and was interested in trying the cheesecake. Wanted to know if anyone else had any luck with that.
(The chocolate applesauce "bread" is a great excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast  )

Great!! Maybe that'll be my next experiment in the kitchen... good thing I don't have to cook for anyone else right now because some of the things I make... well, lets just say I'll eat them because I know what went in them
