its definitely possible because "beanos" - the wholefood shop in leeds - sell it. lemon or raspberry i seem to recall.lazarus corporation wrote:I'm sure either Quiff Boy or I can find a recipe for vegan (lactose free) cheesecake.BillyBadBreaks wrote:Unfortunatley I am lactose intolerant!CellThree wrote:Pie is good, cheesecake is better.
you could give them a ring and ask for their supplier - i assume you live in somewhere other than leeds so i doubt they would have a problem with you dong that
failing that, you could always have a scout around here

here we go - http://www.veganfamily.co.uk/tofu.htm
Tofu Cheesecake.
This pudding is high in calcium and protein and depending on the variety you choose could also be a good source of vitamin C and potassium.
Ingredients.
200g/7oz/1 and 3 quarters cup of vegan digestive biscuits (graham crackers in the US) or bourbons for the chocolate variety
150g./5 oz/half a cup vegan margarine
1 block of tofu - about 400g/12 oz/1 and a quarter cups (silken is best for this recipe but other forms will do)
1 banana
1cup of orange juice
4 Tbspoons of sugar
4 Tbspoons of sunflower oil
For chocolate variety:2 Tbspoons of cocoa
For fruit variety: some fruit stewed with a little sugar
Crush the digestive biscuits and melt the margarine and then mix these two ingredients together. Press this mixture into a large flat dish. Combine the tofu, banana, orange juice, sugar, oil, and cocoa (for chocolate only) in a blender until smooth and pour onto the base. Bake in oven at 180 degrees for about half an hour. For the fruit variety, allow the cake to cool slightly then pour the stewed fruit with sugar over the top and chill. This can be topped with all raw fruit instead (kiwi, tangerine slices etc).

@BillyBadBreaks - to go with your vegan cheesecake, you'll need some Swedish Glace vegan ice cream (as sold in Holland & Barratt and ASDA!)

Yes, the major supermarkets tend to sell the vanilla one, but Holland & Barratt can supply you with the choc and strawberry varieties.Quiff Boy wrote:oh yeslazarus corporation wrote:@BillyBadBreaks - to go with your vegan cheesecake, you'll need some Swedish Glace vegan ice cream (as sold in ASDA!)

This topic has swerved regrettably off-topic, to the point of insult. I don't even like cheesecake. 
I do like cake, though. Can we talk about cake? I prefer chocolate cake with white icing (the flavour is pretty irrelevant, cos apparently I like all the white flavours. Oh, was that dirty?). I like animal products too, but I'm curious: how to you make a cake without eggs? What do you use instead?

i have a recepie for eggless cake (which is VERY nice!) somewhere...
At the moment, my main quest (baking-wise) is the *perfect* carrot cake.

I dunno - if I treat myself to cake, I usually buy it ready-made from some veggie shop. Carrot cake rules.
