THE CREAMIEST TOFU CHEESECAKE IN THE WORLD
Crust
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup finely ground almonds
• 1/4 cup unrefined sugar crystals or sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Filling
• 16 ounces silken tofu
• 16 ounces tofu cream cheese
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 4 teaspoons grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1. For the crust, in a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the ground almonds and sweetener. With a fork, blend the butter into the mixture until it clings together. Turn the mixture into a 8-inch springform pan. Spread and pat the crust until it covers the bottom of the pan. Keep working the crust up the sides of the pan to a height of about 1 inch, leaving it thicker around the bottom edge, where the sides and bottom of the pan meet. Make sure the crust is thinner around the top edge. Bake the crust @ 350 for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. For the filling, puree the tofu in a food processor. Add the cream cheese and process to blend. Add the sugar and eggs and process to incorporate them completely. Blend in the lemon juice and vanilla. Finally, blend in the arrowroot.
3. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, filling it to within 1/2-inch of the top. Bake in the center of the oven for 60 minutes. The cake will be golden on top, slightly browned around the edges, and still puffed and jiggling in the center. Turn off the heat BUT LEAVE THE CAKE sitting in the oven for 60 minutes. Set the cake on a rack and let cool to room temperature. Cover the cake lightly with foil and refrigerate 24 hours before serving.
Note: The cake will taste delicious once it is chilled through, but only reaches full creaminess after being refrigerated 8 hours, or overnight.
I've never made it but I copied this to my file and it looks like a good recipe.

I love making Eggless Egg salad, you can make so many variations of this. I prefer to use cilantro rather than parsely, but this recipe looks yummy!

That's what I do. I go to the Asian market where they sell tofu in buckets. Usually it's too much tofu for me, so I'll use plastic wrap to wrap them up individually and freeze them. Once you defrost it, you can press it in between your two palms to get rid of the liquid, and throw it into dishes with lots of sauces, and it tastes just like sponges!!
I don't know if it has already been posted but I like this one very much
