Nothing against tofu, its a wonderful food, but I'm having trouble visualizing how tofu can ever replicate cheesecake. Do you have a recipe?

One quick google brings up this recipe: https://myquietkitchen.com/tofu-cheesecake/, which looks quite good. (I'm tempted to try it actually, it's been awhile since I had cheesecake!)

The important thing is that it uses silken tofu, which is a totally different texture from the tofu you'd usually use in a stir fry or scramble. I've had silken tofu chocolate pudding and it was one of the best desserts I've ever experienced. I have no doubt it would make a great cheesecake.

I made a tofu cheesecake and I think I remember just taking regular firm tofu and blending it in either soymilk or water until it got velvety but IDK, maybe it tasted awful and not like cheesecake.

I assume there were other ingredients but I find the thought amusing you just blended and baked or cooled a slurry of watery soymilk tofu

Thanks friend. I'll consider giving it a shot.
