        Tofu cheesecake sounds pretty normal to me. You'd want to use silken tofu, of course, but I bet a tofu cheesecake would be amazing. It's all in how you flavor it, just as it is for a cow titty juice cheesecake.

          No no I just have my mind in the Mariana Trench, to me that sentence sounded like biscoff would somehow make your butt soft as tofu cheesecake or summon whatever a "tofu cheesecake bottom" is.

          Ooooooh. I was thinking of firm tofu and was like "that sounds awful, the taste and texture would be all wrong." But that makes a lot more sense.

      Nothing against tofu, its a wonderful food, but I'm having trouble visualizing how tofu can ever replicate cheesecake. Do you have a recipe?

        One quick google brings up this recipe: https://myquietkitchen.com/tofu-cheesecake/, which looks quite good. (I'm tempted to try it actually, it's been awhile since I had cheesecake!)

        The important thing is that it uses silken tofu, which is a totally different texture from the tofu you'd usually use in a stir fry or scramble. I've had silken tofu chocolate pudding and it was one of the best desserts I've ever experienced. I have no doubt it would make a great cheesecake.

          I made a tofu cheesecake and I think I remember just taking regular firm tofu and blending it in either soymilk or water until it got velvety but IDK, maybe it tasted awful and not like cheesecake.

            I assume there were other ingredients but I find the thought amusing you just blended and baked or cooled a slurry of watery soymilk tofu

        There are also vegan cream cheese variants or you can take vegan yoghurt and get the water out by wrapping it in a dishtowel. My wife is really crafty with this stuff, shoot me a DM if you have any baking related questions.
