Lemon-Berry Cheesecake
Ingredients:
1 graham cracker pie crust (store bought or home-made)
1 cup silken tofu
1 cup strawberries, fresh or thawed frozen
1/2 cup mixed berries (I used blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries)
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a food processor, combine silken tofu, mixed berries and strawberries. Process until smooth. You’ll probably have to scrape down the sides a few times to make sure everything is combined.
2. Add constarch and lemon extract, then blend until smooth. Then pour in the sugar and (for the last time, I promise) combine until smooth.
3. Pour the tofu/berry mixture into the pie crust. Put the pie into the heated oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle. Chill for at least 5 hours, then slice and serve! Feel free to garnish with whipped cream.
Source of recipe: I was experimenting with different ways to use silken tofu and this yummy recipe somehow came out of all the kitchen chaos.
