Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

Vegan cheesecake is one of my favorite treats! This chocolate cheesecake recipe is relatively low in fat, but absolutely not low in flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds firm tofu
  • 1 pound soft (silken) tofu
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 1 pre-made pie crust

Preparation:

Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.

Blend the tofu and sugar in a food processor or blender until smooth. Melt the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler or in the microwave, then add them to the blended tofu and sugar. Add the vanilla and almond extract and stir well.

Pour the batter in to the crust. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the cheesecake has risen slightly on the sides and the top looks dry.

Cool before serving. The cheesecake is best if refrigerated for 2 hours before serving, but be sure to let your chocolate cheesecake cool before refrigerating.

Totally confused, Member specialdinner

The directions seemed easy enough but when it came to the size of the pie crust I ended up with about a third of the batter left over. Then I spent almost 2 hours baking it and it still isn't done!
