The only vegan cheesecake I've made is this one: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/11/double-layer-pumpkin-cheesecake.html. I make it every year during the holidays, but it would be good at any time. There are never leftovers when I make it since everyone gobbles it up! There are a few more cheesecake recipes on her site also that would probably be worth checking out.

Hi
That cheesecake looks divine!! I made one yesterday that promised to be divine too and did actually look quite spectacular but sadly did not taste great! It definitely was not sweet enough having read your recipe the ingredients for the " cheese" layer are very similar except that mine had no "sweet" ingredient which is what Clueless and I thought was the missing element!!

Obviously a typo or something , will try it again adding the sweet elements!

I just made this apple cinnamon tofu bake. I am bringing it to a book club meeting tomorrow night. I want to eat some right now, though. My apartment smells sooooo good.
 
Omgosh that sounds so interesting and looks delicious!

Is this it? :D

Yep, with some modifications. I use brown sugar or regular sugar instead of date paste, I use flax seeds instead of hemp seeds (I also use the wheat germ) and I used regular all-purpose flour. My lame-o grocery story also didn't have silken tofu, so I just used soft tofu. I think it will be fine. The batter was nice and smooth.

Oh, and even my tofu-hating mom likes this dish. It's got just enough sweetness to satisfy. I have it for lunch sometimes or a late breakfast. I am going to make it again when I have company in a couple of weeks.

It was a big hit at my book club. The woman who hosted the meeting has a toddler and he loved it! He was chowing down on it. It was great!

Wow, that is amazing!

Tx. It tasted really good and you could make it vegan by using vegan white chocolate. The only brand that I ever bought (UK brand) was vile so I don't know whether you can get better choc in the US.

You only have to bake the tart blind as the mixture doesn't require any further baking.

How do you make that gorgeous angel hair? It's so pretty!

Eta spun sugar I see as I backread. How did you do it, in a food processor?

I order it from the Christmas angels !

Actually it is really easy peasy to make.

I make a golden caramel in a saucepan. Take it off the heat. when it start to cool down I take 2 forks and scoop
out swirls of 'angel hair' and immediately place them on the tart. Once you have decorated the tart you cannot
place it in the fridge or a very cool place as it tends to melt.
It really does turn the volume up on Christmas bakes as it makes everything look so elegant.

I'm sure I will make a huge mess, but I am going to try that this Christmas. :)
