CHOCOLATE TOFU CHEESECAKE

THEIR ARE TWO DIFFERENT RECIPES; ONE MORE VEGAN THAN VEGETARIAN.
A tofu cake sounds better than an legume or bean cake...right


Crust:
1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
Cheesecake: The idea is to switch the usual cream cheese to tofu. The coffee liqueur makes it a richer choc. taste but not necessary.
8 ounces organic firm tofu (more fiber the better)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
4 ounces light cream cheese
1/3 cup maple syrup (Agave, date sugar, honey no fake sugars...)
2 whipped egg whites
1 egg
3 tablespoons coffee liqueur
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the canola oil and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur. Then press into a 9-inch spring form pan.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine all remaining ingredients until smooth. Spread over the crust and bake for 1 hour. Chill in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
