I’ll admit, I first made this as a lactose free dessert for a friend and I was convinced it was going to taste disgusting. It’s actually one of the most delicious desserts I’ve ever made and it’s not as gluggy and fattening as regular cheesecake. It’s also made from high protein tofu so you’ll feel fuller faster and stop yourself from having cheesecake regret. Bonza. Another thing about this cheesecake is that if you don’t tell people it’s a tofu cheesecake, they’d never know. Promise.

Tofu Cheescake
What You Need
  • 500gms macro silken tofu (a bit less than 2 packets)
  • 6 tablespoons of strawberry jam
  • 50 mls of Cointreau (the littlest bottle you can buy is 50ml so it’s the perfect size)
  • 300gms of crushed biscuits (I used macro Free From Gluten chocolate chip biscuits to make it gluten free and I’ve made another version with lactose free cookies too but use whatever works for you)
  • 375 gms of dark chocolate (I just used a packet of Dark Choc melts)
What You Do
  1. Whizz the biscuits in a food processor until they make fine crumbs. Mix in about 2 tablespoons of jam and press together to form a thick dough. You might need to play with your qauntities depending on what jam and biscuits you ues. Press the dough into the bottom of a spring form tin and pop it in the fridge.
  2. Whizz tofu, remaining jam and Cointreau in a food processor. Melt chocolate carefull in the mircowave (30 seconds at a time so you don’t burn it) and whisk chocolate into tofu mixture. Pour on top of biscuit base and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  3. To remove cake from pan simply run the egdes under warm water, being careful not to get water on the cake. The outer ring of the cake tin should slip right off.
  4. You can serve it with ice cream, cream or soy ice cream if you’re making it for people that are lactose intolerant.
