Chocolate fans - get ready. Here’s the chocolate dessert for you. Chocolate tofu cheesecake that kids, adults and grandparents have fallen in love with. There’s no doubt it’s full of chocolate, very sweet and really tempting. Empty plates say it all:)
Ingredients:
Crust:
¾ cups wheat flour
1/2 cup grated pumpkin
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp baking powder
a few drops of vanilla extract
2 tsp vanilla sugar
2 tbsp sugar
100g coconut shreds
Filling:
360 g natural tofu
6 tbsp cooked millet
1/2 cup grated pumpkin
1/4 cup vegetable oil
16g vanilla sugar
1 cup plant based milk
¾ cup sugar
a few drops of orange extract
fresh juice of 1.5 orange
grated rind of 1 orange
2 tbsp cacao powder
100g dark chocolate
pinch of salt
3 tbsp potato flour
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Blend grated pumpkin with the oil and vanilla extract until it’s smooth. Put it into the large mixing bowl. Add vanilla sugar, sugar, coconut shreds and mix well. Then add sifted dry ingredients (flour, baking powder) and a pinch of salt and knead the dough.
There’s no need to cool the dough in the fridge. Coat the baking tray with some oil (e.g. coconut oil) and spread the dough. Take a fork and pierce the surface of the dough. Bake for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Blend grated pumpkin with the oil and orange extract until it’s smooth. Put the pumpkin mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, vanilla sugar and mix well. Then add a pinch of salt, crumbled tofu and millet. Blend all ingredients until you get a smooth mixture.
Melt the chocolate using the hot water bath. Add melted chocolate and cacao powder to the batter. Then add the rind of orange, orange juice and milk and blend again. Then add potato flour and mix the batter with a spoon (note: the batter should be in liquid form)
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Pour the batter onto the crust and bake the cake for about 60 minutes. Then turn off the oven but leave the cake inside the open oven for 15 more minutes.
Cool for about 3-4 hours before serving.
Enjoy!
