Ingredients

  • 20 ounces firm silken tofu
  • 1 1/4 cups soymilk powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar
  • 6 to 7 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons non-GMO canola oil or your favorite neutral-tasting oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 teaspoons agar agar powder
  • 1 10-inch prepared dairy-free crust (gluten-free, if needed)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the tofu, soymilk powder, sweeteners, lemon juice, lemon zest, oil, vinegar, vanilla, and salt in your blender or food processor and process until smooth.

  2. 2

    Put the water and agar powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring it just to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer) for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    With your blender or food processor running, pour the agar mixture through the hole or chute. Agar sets up very quickly, so it needs to be blended immediately to avoid a lumpy cheesecake.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into your prepared crust and chill for 3 hours, or until set.
