Here you go! Look at this delicious golden brown cheesecake!

Please take out your cheesecake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. When it’s cool enough, cover it and transfer it into the fridge.

You can eat it right away, but the best thing is to let it sit overnight in the fridge and eat it the next day!

Recipe Tips

  • If you like an extra smooth texture, make tofu cream using a food processor or high-speed blender before adding it to a large bowl.
  • The texture is soft and light, but if you add lemon juice at the end, it will help make it richer.
  • A little bit of vanilla extract will add that sweet flavor.

Storage

Keep it in the fridge, and it will last for five days.

  3. This is the first cheesecake recipe I’ve attempted and always wanted to do. It was a success. It reminded me of a delicous New York baked cheesecake I had once. I was very happy.
