A No-Cheese Cheesecake that Works


I tried this "cheesecake" recipe recently, and was pleased with the results-- it really passed for cheesecake. To find a non-dairy cheesecake that has "normal" ingredients and came together in the food processor was nice!

We are not vegans, but having one in the family who can't have dairy or soy, it was hard to figure out how to make a favorite dessert that he could eat.

I did not put in as much lemon juice-- out of one large lemon I had about 1/3 cup, but it worked out fine, as I added 1/2 cup cocoa and didn't want the lemon overwhelming the flavor. I think adding melted chocolate would be even tastier than the cocoa.
