Many years ago, a reader emailed us to share her favorite dairy-free dessert recipe, raspberry tofu cheesecake. It’s from The Tofu Cookbook, and the author, Leah Leneman, graciously gave us permissions to share it. This unique cheesecake is not only dairy-free, it’s also gluten-free, egg-free, nut-free, low sugar, low fat, and quite healthy. The recipe melds an array of flavorful and nutritious ingredients, including raspberries, zesty orange, yogurt, and even tahini.

Raspberry Tofu Cheesecake Free of Dairy, Eggs, Nuts, and Gluten

We originally posted this Raspberry Tofu Cheesecake recipe back in 2006. We’ve since updated this post, and I have answers to some common FAQs.

Can I Use Quick Oats?

Honestly, I don’t see why not. The bottom “crust” is a very thin base with a rustic texture.

How Can I Make this Coconut-Free?

Just use 1/2 cup oats and omit the coconut.

What Yogurt Do You Recommend?

Your favorite dairy-free yogurt should work just fine. One that is sweetened will add to the flavor a bit more. We often use So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt for recipes, but almost any brand should since the recipe calls for such a small amount of yogurt.

Can I Use a Different Sweetener in the Tofu Cheesecake Portion?

I think honey or agave nectar would sub just fine for the sugar. I don’t personally recommend a sugar-free sweetener, but it is up to you if you want to try one.

What is Tahini?

It’s sesame seed paste. Most grocery stores carry it, or you can order it online. I usually buy Mighty Sesame because I like the taste and the squeeze bottle.
