I think your cheesecake looks lovely e...Hi Johanna,<br />I think your cheesecake looks lovely especially with your mom's floral touch:) I remember many years ago I was having company and one of my guests preferred vegan meals. Thankfully, another firend made her meal but I made her a dessert. I attempted tofu cheesecake and it was wonderful! I made it many more times through the years but haven't made it in a while. It is light and actually rather refreshing. I'm sure you could replace the ricotta with soft tofu. As for the yogurt, the recipe I used was pre "greek" yogurt. I'm pretty sure I used sour cream which translates to regular yogurt now. I'm not sure about the "sweating" but I would think you could increase the amount of ricotta (drained) to about 16 ounces or two cups. Have fun experimenting!!!<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing, Johanna...~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-49713925431388929252014-10-29T15:43:49.163+11:002014-10-29T15:43:49.163+11:00This looks lovely and rich- love Sylvia's card...This looks lovely and rich- love Sylvia's card too :) I often get anxious when baking for other people too.

I can imagine that if you aren't a cheese fan that cheesecake might not be your thing either. Mum's idea to put the flowers on top was inspired as they look beautiful - wish I had her garden at hand for blogging pics!

The recipe was not gluten free and called for gingernut biscuits but I used the coconut because the recipe called for 175g biscuits and the freelicious come in a 125g packet - but I think the coconut worked well and I agree that it is great in a cheesecake base. The sweating was odd but need to make a cheesecake again soon just to experiment!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-13471949119188988432014-10-27T12:22:10.008+11:002014-10-27T12:22:10.008+11:00Hi Alcessa - The recipe I used was from a british ...Hi Alcessa - The recipe I used was from a british baking cookbook and called for ricotta and greek yoghurt. These are ingredients that are easy to find in Australia too. I don't think curd cheese is easy to find here though we do have cottage cheese and there were some cheesecake recipes with cottage cheese that I could try. Thanks for the recipe - wonder if I could try it with cottage cheese.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-85372747030513053162014-10-27T12:14:44.840+11:002014-10-27T12:14:44.840+11:00Thanks Emma - there are a few baked cheesecakes in...Thanks Emma - there are a few baked cheesecakes in The Joy of Vegan Baking where she uses egg replacer and vegan cream cheese or Ricki has some baked cheesecake bars.

It looks divine too....... I will definitely be trying this one! I always love the additional texture and flavour that coconut adds to a cheesecake base too. I have never known a cheesecake to sweat though, so can't help you on that one.... It doesn't seem to have been terminal though, so I wouldn't worry too much!
