INstructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Remove tofu from package and drain liquid. Place tofu on a plate and place heavy plate or object on top of tofu for 15 minutes to release excess liquid.
- In food processor, blitz graham crackers, walnuts and vegan butter until mixture becomes a fine crumble. Firmly pat mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the bottom well with 2 sheets of tinfoil, leaving the top exposed. Place pan with foil inside into a sheet pan and pour 1.5 cups of water in the sheet pan around the springform pan. This will help ensure the crust doesn’t crack when baking. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- To blender, add drained tofu, dairy-free cream cheese, 8 figs, monk fruit sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest. Blend very well until smooth.
- Once pie crust is cooled, pour mixture on top of crust (still in springform pan on sheet pan) and bake for one hour. Once done, turn off oven, open oven door and allow the cheesecake to cool inside the oven for 1 hour. This will present the cheesecake from cracking.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for 4 hours and decorate the cake with fresh figs.
Tip: Place the cheesecake in freezer one hour prior to serving to ensure the cheesecake slices smoothly. Enjoy!
