We used an artificial sweetener for this recipe but you don’t have to do the same. There were two reasons we swapped sugar for sweetener – we wanted to create a guilt free cheesecake experience and try to make it a little more diabetic friendly (for our sweet Mom) than a regular cheesecake.
Don’t worry about the texture of the tofu in this recipe, remarkably, the texture stays the same as a regular cheesecake from the very start. Once mixed, the cheesecake it pours easily into the shell and comes out light and creamy.

We love this recipe because not only does it taste great, it’s easy to make with only a few steps. Firstly, create the crust by mixing graham crumbs and melted butter (yum!). Next, put the filling ingredients into the blender and blend completely. Lastly, place it in the oven to bake. Decorate with festive fruits and berries and your set.
