Portable cheesecake

Following up on the pie in a jar notion, I’ve extended the same idea to cheesecakes. The following recipe is from La Dolce Vegan with minor modifications for convenience.

Filling

  • 300g silken tofu
  • 2 cups tofutti “cream cheese”
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract (I also added one vanilla bean)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (I think I put in 1½)
  • 1 tsp lemon rind, finely grated
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup flour

Glaze

  • 1 cup jam
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • ¼ cup water

Method

  1. Using a premade graham cracker crust (much faster), ground it up and split it between 8 jars.
  2. Blend the filling in a food processor (wets first, drys second) and pour into the jars on top of the crust.
  3. Cover and leave overnight in the fridge.
  4. The next day, bring the glaze to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly (make sure to mix the water and cornstarch first to avoid clumps).
  5. Split the glaze between the 8 jars and refrigerate again for an hour.
