As the theme of this month's Is My Blog Burning is "I can't believe I ate vegan," we've been reading about (and drooling over) lots of great vegan recipes on the blogs the last few weeks. This one, though, is one I really don't believe - and would certainly never occur to me to suspect a cheesecake could be vegan-ized. I'm both intrigued and apprehensive; how can you make cheesecake without dairy? It certainly looks delicious, and Nic from Baking Bites says " It had a great texture, a bit melting, light and fluffy." I want to try it... but I don't know if I dare.
And in case you're wondering, the non-dairy cheesey ingredients are silken tofu and Tofutti's Better then Cream Cheese.

our two vegan favorites are the killer espresso bean cheesecake and the very refreshing key lime cheesecake.
