Tofu Cheesecake

This recipe came from Organic Gourmet Leslie Cerier it is called Berry Good Tofu Pie. This was then adapted by Susan Braus who has served it at potlucks and was kind enough to share her recipe. It is delicious!

Crust
2 cups teff flour (i used organic pastry flour--it seemed fine)
1/2 cup maple syrup (i used 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/4 barley malt)
1/2 cup corn oil (i used safflower)
1/2 tspn sea salt

preheat oven to 375
combine ingredients and form a dough
press with your fingers into lightly oil pie plate
poke holes and bake for 10 minutes

Filling

1 # tofu (silky or soft) If you use extra firm the recipe says to add 1/8 cup H20
I used extra firm with the water and it was still wet
recipe says you can have a more solid filling if you don't add the water to the extra firm tofu. I think that would have been the best idea

1/2 to 2/3 cup rice syrup or 1/3 cup maple syrup (i used 1/6 cup maple and 1/6 cup
barley malt)
1/4 cup tahini
1 tablespoon Vanilla
1 cup blueberries strawberries raspberries (I had fresh organic cranberries..I diluted
1 rounded tsp Kuzu in a cup of cold water and added it too berries letting them simmer with a pinch of salt and a spoon of maple syrup . This was still really tart
so I added a couple of spoons of organic applesauce with cranberries I happened to have and then it seemed pretty good)

I also pan toasted raw cashews for decoration

anyway:
in food processor whip tofu,sweetener tahini vanilla
Pour tofu onto crust
decorate top with the raw berries or (I used my cranberry concoction)

Bake for 10 minutes in 375 degree oven until tofu is golden brown color

ENJOY Actually the recipe suggests as an improvisation use of cooked berries in kuzu with 1/3 cup of water . I used a little more water and cooked berries a little longer than you would with a third cup of water another improvisational idea was to bake the tofu in crust, remove and then add the fresh berries on top. that would be nice in the summer.
