About

You won't believe that this easy cheesecake was really very healthy, it's eggless and no cream added which made it light and not heavy. I blended together all the ingredients till smooth, then add in the gelatine, mixed in some green tea powder to make marble effect.

I would think the largest group of people drawn to a recipe for "tofu cheesecake" would be vegetarians and vegans, but the gelatin powder nixes it for them. Any way to get around that ingredient?

I'm not vegetarian and I'm definitely interested in this.  Just one question: what firmness is the tofu in this recipe?  Can I assume you're using Soft or Silken?  
Thanks!
