Chocolate ricotta cheesecake

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Water
2 tablespoons Agar flakes
½ pounds Firm regular tofu; patted dry and crumbled
1 pack (10.5 oz.) firm silken tofu; patted dry and crumbled
cup Maple syrup
cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
teaspoon Vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 Prepared cheesecake crust

Directions

Place the water and agar in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat, stirring often, and cook five minutes. Blend the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor for 1 - 2 minutes.

Pour the agar mixture into the blended mixture and process for two additional minutes, until very smooth. Pour into the prepared crust.

Refrigerate 6 - 8 hours, or overnight.

Serving suggestions: Top with fresh berries, peach slices, or a fresh compote.

Substitutions: In place of flaked agar - 2 T powdered agar Optional additions: If you're making your own crust, you can reserve ¼ cup of the crumbs to sprinkle over the top of the cheesecake before it goes in the oven.
