Rare Tofu Cheesecake

The reason why I decided to make this was because of this caged Rare Tofu Cheesecake from Sun With Moon Japanese Dining at Wheelock.

It was $6.50++ for a slice like that.

Personally I think its overrated.

SO I DECIDED to make ONE myself.

Using Mainly Tofu, Cream Cheese, Whipping Cream

I think I did great for my first attempt.!

I always love first trial.

It's exciting.

Usually I spent large amount of my free time looking for recipes, pictures and watching youtube video. After looking at afew I decide upon using Cooking With Dog- a Japanese chef that I follow on youtube!.

Her recipe is very simple and straightforward. that's why I love it!

150g Biscuits ( I used Digestive )

70g Melted Butter

100g Whipping Cream

200g PlainYogurt

100g Icing Sugar

200g Soften Cream Cheese

300g Tofu

2Tbsp Lemon Juice

10g Gelatin Powder
100g Hot Water

Method

• Wrap the tofu in 2-3 pieces of kitchen towel, press out water in it by placing heavy object (half filled water bottle) on it. Do these for 10 minutes.
• Combine Crushed biscuit crumbs with the melted butter. Press it down firmly onto the base of the springe pan. Chill it in freezer before using.
• Soak the gelatine powder in hot water and leave it aside - do not stir-
• In a food processor, blend cream cheese, tofu, yogurt, sugar and lemon juice. Making sure its smooth w/out lumps. Then add in gelatine mixture (make sure no sticky lumps) into cheese mixture and blend again for 3seconds.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tins w biscuits at the bottom. Chill at least 6 Hours or overnight before serving. Run a hot knife to release the side of cake from the pan.
• To have clean cut of the cake slices, use a hot knife and clean the knife after each cut.

I am SUPER pleased with this cake. My brother and his gf who are BIG fan of cheesecake is saying that its very very nice! hahhah wanna faint when I heard my bro compliment me (he rarely do that) This was like the second time I heard from him. First, was the Banana Chocolate Cupcakes that he always ask me to bake.
