List of Ingredients

2 c Graham cracker crumbs (gf if necessary)
1/4 c Maple syrup
1/4 ts Almond extract

----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
1 lb Japanese-style firm silken
-tofu; (e.g. Mori-Nu)
1/3 c sugar
1 tb Tahini or almond butter

Recipe



Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix cracker crumbs, syrup and extract until crumbs are moistened.

Transfer to oiled 9-inch pie plate; press mixture evenly to form crust.
Bake 5 minutes; let cool while preparing filling.

FILLING: Blend all ingredients in food processor or blender until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Pour mixture into crust. Bake until top of pie is slightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled and firm, about 2 hours.

VARIATIONS: Alternatively, use a prepared graham cracker crust. For a no-bake cheesecake, omit cornstarch mixture. Pour filling into crust and refrigerate until firm, at least two hours or overnight. The texture will resemble that of a cream pie. If you make this "cheesecake" the day before serving, its flavor will be more developed.
