Chocolate Tofu-Cheesecake

Posted on 03 Apr 2015

Tofu, or “soybean cheese” as I like to call it, in its “silken” form can be used in dessert—if you follow my “silken tofu = cream cheese” logic.

While this recipe is not quite as rich as my other cheesecake recipe, it’s still delicious and you can feel somewhat better about yourself after eating a couple pieces given tofu’s relative nutritiousness.
