Chocolate & Tofu Cheesecake

I'm really enjoying watching Good Chef Bad Chef on Foxtel. I decided to try this recipe of Janella's. It was very easy to make. To be honest, it doesn't taste as good as the real thing but if you are on a sugar free diet or watching what you eat it certainly hits the spot. Can't wait to try some more of her recipes.

Base
1 cup rice flour
1 cup almonds or hazlenuts
2 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 tsp ginger, ground
1 tbls agave or maple syrup
1/3 cup sunflower oil or omega spread
1 tsp vanilla essence
Pinch of salt

Filling
450g dairy free dark chocolate
180g tub silken tofu
1 shot of espresso or 30mls of strong instant coffee
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup palm sugar, grated (optional)

Heat your oven to 160oC and lightly grease a 20cm spring form pie tin with omega spread or sunflower oil.


For the base, put the dry ingredients in a food processor and blitz until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Then add the wet ingredients and blitz until the mixture comes together on a ball. Press the mixture into the base and sides of the pie tin. Bake for 15 minutes then set aside.

Next, melt your chocolate in a bowl over a simmering pot of water. Blend the slightly cooled chocolate with the rest of the filling ingredients. Pour into the pie dish and bake at 160oC for 20 minutes. Allow to cool before taking it out of the tin.
