Tofu Cheesecake?!

When I first got this recipe from my mother in law, I thought to myself, "WHAT? Tofu cheesecake?? That CANNOT taste good!"

Well, I was wrong! This recipe is definitely worth a try.  Especially if you're like me and need a diet higher in protein to help sustain energy without eating a ton of unhealthy "filler" foods. This tofu cheesecake is very healthy and great "brain power" food. Joe and I both love eating this for breakfast.

For 1 slice (1/8) of cheesecake, I calculated a total of 12g protein and 5g fat.

Ingredients!

Tofu Cheesecake

 Combine all in a food processor:

1C firm tofu

1C low fat cottage cheese

1C Vanilla yogurt (I used Greek yogurt for 22g of protein per cup rather than only 6g with regular yogurt)

3/4C Sugar

2 eggs

1tsp vanilla

Blend until very creamy. Pour into one large or two small vanilla wafer or graham cracker crusts (or even gluten free pie crust if you are on a gluten-free diet. There are many recipes for gluten free pie crusts on the internet)

Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes (until knife comes out clean in center and cheesecake has light golden brown color)

Chill thoroughly. Top with fresh strawberries or your favorite fruit.
