Hi - Glad you liked it! Yeah, the recipe will leak after a few days in the fridge. I should put a note about that in the book. I think it's because the moisture in the recipe is water in the tofu, and not fat (as it usually would be in cheesecake). The cornstarch absorbs the water and keeps it from leaking somewhat, but I think after the first day this doesn't works so well. The only alternative I can think of is to increase the fat in either the filling or the crust (the crust would hold liquid better if it was high fat) but I don't want to do that.

I've been playing around with blending very finely ground nuts into the graham crust, and that's been working well for things like pumpkin pie that are also high moisture/low fat. I haven't tried this with the cheesecake yet.

If anyone has some other ideas here, I'd love to here them. Right now, I just make the cheesecake when I know it will be all eaten in a day or two.
