Tofu Banana Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a blender or food processor, combine tofu, sugar, vanilla, salt, vegetable oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Pour into the pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool. Refrigerate until chilled.

Steps:

• Crust:.
• Combine crumbs and melted butter.
• Press on bottom of 9-inch springform pan.
• Bake at 350 for 6 minutes; cool.
• Pie:.
• Drain tofu (not necessary if you are using Silken tofu). Set aside.
• In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel and vanilla.
• Cut tofu and bananas into chunks; add half to mixer and blend.
• Add second half and oranges, blend until very smooth.
• Pour mixture into crust.
• Bake at 325 until golden, but center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken (about an hour).
• Let cool in pan on rack, then cover and chill in refrigerator until cold (2-3 hours).
• To serve, remove pan sides and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and/or orange peel (if desired).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Drizzle in the oil or melted margarine. Use a spoon to blend the mixture thoroughly to moisten the crumbs, then drizzle in the soy milk and stir again to form a crumbly dough.
• Pour the crumbs into the pie plate or springform pan. Using your fingers or a flat-bottom cup, press crumbs into the the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until firm. Let the crust cool before filling.
• Make the topping: In a mixing bowl, use a fork to mash together brown sugar, margarine and salt until crumbly, then fold in the chopped nuts and stir to coat with the mixture. Set aside until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Drain the cashews and blend with the banana, tofu, sugar, brown sugar, coconut oil, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla and orange extracts, and sea salt. Blend until completely smooth and no bits of cashew remain. Add the pumpkin purée, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and blend until smooth, then pour it onto the crust.
• Bake the cheesecake for 45 to 50 minutes, removing the cheesecake halfway through the baking period to sprinkle on the topping. Return to oven to continue baking. Cheesecake will be done when the top is lightly puffed and the edges of the cake are golden. Remove it from the oven and let cool on a rack for 20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to complete cooling, at least 3 hours or, even better, overnight. To serve, slice the cake using a thin, sharp knife dipped in cold water.

Steps:

• Bake pie crust in oven according to package directions. (I used a whole wheat pie crust, to very good results!).
• To make filling, crumble tofu into blender. Add all remaining ingredients except Fruit Topping; blend well.
• Pour tofu mixture into prepared pie crust, and bake at 350 F for 35-40 minutes.
• Cool first, then add your favorite fruit topping if desired.

Steps:

• Place the banana, tofu, sugar, cocoa powder, soy milk, and cinnamon into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Pour into individual serving dishes, and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
