Vegan Eggnog Cheesecake
Ingredients:
1 12.3-oz package extra firm light silken tofu
1 8-oz package Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese
3/4 C sugar
1/2 C vegan eggnog (see note)
2 T lemon juice
2 1/2 T brandy or rum
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg, packed
3 T cornstarch
1 prepared graham cracker or oatmeal cookie crust
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Drain the tofu and put it and the Tofutti cream cheese into your food processor. Blend until smooth. Add the sugar and eggnog, and process again until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except crust) and process until completely smooth, about 3 more minutes. Pour into the pie crust and bake in the middle of the oven for about 55 minutes (do not allow to brown). Filling will be slightly jiggly, not completely set until chilled.
2. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Refrigerate until completely chilled (the longer, the better). Serve sprinkled with additional grated nutmeg.
Note: You may use vanilla soymilk instead of eggnog. Just increase the brandy to 3 T and the nutmeg to 1 tsp and add an additional 2 tsp of sugar.
