Should you want your Valentine's Day to be velvety smooth, serve up

this " cheesecake " topped with fresh fruit (consider fresh

strawberries in keeping with the Valentine's Day " red " theme). Agar

flakes, which are made from seaweed, are used as a thickener. Look

for them in natural food stores or Asian markets.

 

1 nine-inch baked crumb crust (gf if necessary)

2 tablespoons agar flakes

2/3 cup Soy Dream Original or Rice Dream Original Beverage

1/2 cup turbinado sugar, Sucanat or other sweetener

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 pound firm tofu

4 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

2 teaspoons vanilla

Fresh fruit for topping (strawberries, kiwi fruit, etc.)

 

Combine the agar and Soy Dream or Rice Dream in a saucepan and let

stand 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar and salt. Simmer over low heat,

stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.

Pour into a blender and add the tofu, lemon juice, lemon peel, and

vanilla.

Blend until very smooth. Spread evenly into a prepared crust.

Refrigerate 30 minutes, and then top with fresh fruit. Chill

thoroughly before serving.
