If you love matcha, we think that this Tofu Chocolate-Date Cheezecake will be the perfect matcha for you! Our friend Connie Leung has outdone herself!
Ingredients - Base
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 12 Everland dates
Ingredients - Filling
- 125mL almond mylk
- 500g Morinu firm tofu
- 1 Tbsp psyllium husk
- 1 tsp Whisk Matcha matcha
- 1 Tbsp stevia powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Herbaland Gummies (for garnish)
Directions
- For the base, soak the dates in hot water until soften (this will be your "date water"). In a food processor, combine the dates and quick oats. Add enough of the date water and process until it gets sticky and press into a pan. Put in the freezer while preparing the filling
- For the filling, blend all the ingredients together until no there are no chunks left
- Pour the filling into the base and place in the fridge to allow it to set - at least 2 hours
Pro Tip:
- Process the base ingredients until it reaches the sticky consistency - over processing it makes it too smooth - you want chunks!
- Morinu is a shelf stable tofu - regular tofu you find in the fridge has an extremely high water content and not ideal in making desserts
- Substitute stevia for other sweeteners that are light in color (ex.cane sugar)
