My version of the tofu cheesecake recipe differs slightly from the original in both ratio of ingredients and method. I wanted the cheesecake to be slightly taller so the quantity of cake was increased while the crust stayed the same. I also thought the method of crushing graham crackers with a rolling pin took too long so I used a meat. the problem that everyone has with the cheesecake being runny is mostly attributed to the tofu. you need to press the tofu and remove a lot of its excess moisture prior to using it in the recipe. just draining the water from the tofu package isnt enough. after removing the tofu from the package and rinsing it off, wrap the tofu in some thick paper towels. then press down on the tofu, not so . Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool.
Tofu Cheesecake instructions
- Pls visit: https://www.fatdough.sg/post/lavender-extract for the lavender extract recipe..
- Grease cake pan with butter. Lay parchment paper on the bottom and the sides. In a skillet over medium heat, add butter. Cook until the butter has melted and starts to "sing"..
- Continue cooking until the "singing" has subsided and the butter has browned. Remove from heat, pass the browned butter thru' a coffee filter over a sieve and bowl. *I usually melt 80g worth of butter to get the exact 60g. If your browned butter is insufficient, add in some canola oil.* Set aside to cool down slightly..
- In a food processor, blitz biscuits until powder forms. Transfer into a bowl and add in the browned butter. Mix to combine well. It should resemble wet sand..
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Using an offset spatula to distribute evenly. Pad the biscuit mixture down to make it compact. Set aside in the fridge to chill..
- In a blender, add cream, yogurt, tofu, cream cheese, sugar, lavender extract, orange juice and zest. Blitz until smooth. In a small bowl, combine gelatin and water well..
- Stir to dissolve the gelatin. Transfer the gelatin mixture into the blender. Blitz until well combined and smooth. Pour the mixture into the cake pan..
- Give it a shake for an even top. Return back to the fridge and allow it to chill and set overnight. It should be still soft and jiggly..

Grind the walnuts, transfer to a medium dish, mix in the honey or maple syrup for a vegan version and press the mixture tightly into the springform pan. Hello, thank you, I'm Dana, you're welcome.
