Cheeseless Cheesecake

E-mail

This cheesecake is so good and tastes so much like cheese that it is hard to believe it isn't. Perfect to serve with a meat meal or for those that are lactose intolerant. Excellent with strawberries, chocolate shavings or just plain as it comes out of the oven looking beautiful. This recipe is so easy and is virtually impossible to mess up!

Ingredients:

2 containers of Tofutti cream cheese (make sure to get plain and not a flavored version)

2 eggs

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup of sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla

Ready to use graham cracker pie crust

Mix all ingredients together. Easiest when the "cream cheese" is first mashed with a fork. Use an electric hand blender for a few seconds just to get rid of any remaining lumps.

Pour into the pie crust. Should fill to exactly the top.

Cook uncovered for 1/2 an hour at 350 degrees. If after 1/2 hour the top is still liquidy, cook another 10 minutes or so until it is starting to turn brown. Cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

key lime?
I'm certain to try the lemon meringue way, but has anyone tried it in a key lime version?

Cheeseless Cheesecake
Ener-G Foods, Inc. makes an Egg Replacer... it is wonderful. You cannot use it for scrambled eggs, but is perfect for baking.

Good Luck! :)

Soya / replacment for eggs.
Shoshana. Soya contain some isoflavones, that mimic estrogens. Like everything don't use too much. And soya to feed cattle is usually genetically manipulated, but not for humans.

To the grandma whose granddaughter is allergic to eggs: usually, you can find egg replacer in the grocery store. If not, a quick trick: 15mL cornstarch per egg will do the trick :)

Shavuot same'ach!

Cheese less cheese cake
Hi I have made this receipe many times. It tast really good . I actually added tto the cream cheese toffuti sour cream , it is even richer. But one day I was reading a chapter from Julia Ross : the mood Cure , and I really got nervous. She talks about the danger of soy milk and tofu.contrary to what a lot of people think consuming soy product is harmful to our health .we do not need extra estrogen as soy is a very high source of plant estrogen. Soy consumption is linked to depression and Alzheimer's. And giving soy based formula to babies is like giving them 5 contraception pills a day!!?? Can you imagine the consequences !!? Very scary .
So cheese less cheesecake...,,?! You want to think again about it. You can use coconut cream instead it taste good and it's good for you and add lime juice instead of lemon..
