Lemon "Cheesecake" with Nasoya Silken Tofu
I'm so excited to share this one — a collab recipe using Nasoya silken tofu to make a creamy, dreamy lemon cheesecake that's entirely plant-based.
Crust
1 1/2 cups almond flour
8-10 pitted dates
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
Filling
1 package Nasoya silken tofu
1/3 cup maple syrup
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cornstarch
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse almond flour, dates, and coconut oil until it forms a sticky dough.
Press the crust mixture into a lined springform pan or tart pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
Blend silken tofu, maple syrup, lemon juice, coconut oil, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt until completely smooth.
Pour filling over the cooled crust.
Bake at 325°F for 25-30 minutes, until the center is just set. Cool completely, then chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Silky, citrusy, and secretly made with tofu — this is the dessert that convinces people plant-based can be just as indulgent. So excited to have partnered with Nasoya on this one!
