Cheesecake girl.

How I often feel, living my single-girl musician graduate student life:  


Day 363:  the terror continues. Also, made another cheesecake! ...Very nearly.  Oh, and it’s my mum’s birthday. Happy birthday, Mum. I did make you a cheesecake, but it was too beautiful to live.



When one gets bored in her own little world, baking happens.  This gluten-free and vegan recipe happened quite well.

Chocolate Peanut-Butter "Cheesecake"

Crust:  
2 c. almond flour
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c. coconut oil
2 tbsp. organic maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
Coffee as needed

Filling:
10 fresh figs, chopped
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 14-oz. package extra-firm tofu, drained
1/4 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. agave syrup
Dash of cinnamon

Blend all crust ingredients in food processor.  Press into 9-inch springform pan and chill in refrigerator.  Blend all filling ingredients until smooth.  Spread on top of crust and chill until firm.

Remember:  the cheesecake isn't the cheesecake - the cheesecake is the recipe!
