Hi...

I remember a lemon lime one with tofu that I made that was just wonderful. No one EVER knew it had tofu in it. If this is it, I think I can find it for you.

Norma

Duh....I just reread your message and it WAS a lemon cheesecake. I'll find it and post for you.

[kwormann]

I would be SO greatful!!!!

[Norma]

I found it....Sep 98 page 167.

This is good enough or do you need the printed recipe. I will type it for you, but maybe someone can get it from their software. If you're in a hurry and no one responds, I will type it for you.

Let me know.

I found a lemon-lime cream tart, but it is not made with tofu. I can post htat one for you, ut I don't think it's what you're looking for. Sorry.

[kwormann]

Norma, wow you are good!

My Mastercook doesnt go to that year. Im not in a hurry, so maybe someone will have it saved in their Mastercook. If not, I would be so greatful if you could get it to me WHEN YOU HAVE TIME AND NOT A MINUTE BEFORE!!!:D

[Norma]

Okay, I'll see if anyone responds first. I need to make this one again.

Norma - you are awsome!! I had been looking for a tomato jalapeno soup recipe (that contained tofu) and no one remembered it -- when I saw this post I thought -- that sounds like a "sneak tofu in" article so I looked up Sept 98 and there was my soup recipe. Thanks so much!!!!

Creamy Lemon-Lime Tofu Cheesecake

SOURCE: Cooking Light YEAR: Sept 1998 PAGE: 167

INGREDIENTS FOR 12 SERVINGS:
Crust:
1-1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 8 cookie sheets)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie stick margarine, melted
Cooking spray
Filling:
1 cup 2% low-fat cottage cheese
2/3 cup tub-style light cream cheese (about 5 ounces)
1 (12.3-ounce) package reduced-fat firm silken tofu, drained
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup bottled fat-free lemon curd (such as Crosse & Blackwell)
2 teaspoons grated lime rind
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
Topping:
1-1/4 cups low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Lemon and lime slices (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
For this recipe, we've used a fat-free lemon curd rather than a traditional one made with egg yolks and butter. You'll find several of these fat-free or low-fat lemon curds on the jam-and-jelly aisle of the supermarket.

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. To prepare crust, combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl, tossing mixture well with a fork. Sprinkle mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray.

3. To prepare filling, place cheeses and tofu in a food processor, and process until mixture is smooth. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, flour, and next 5 ingredients (flour through egg white); process until smooth, scraping sides of processor bowl occasionally. Pour filling into prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until almost set. Remove from oven.

4. To prepare topping, place sour cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, lemon rind, and vanilla in a small bowl; stir well. Spread sour cream mixture over cheesecake, and bake an additional 8 minutes. Turn oven off, and partially open oven door; leave cheesecake in oven 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool 20
minutes on a wire rack; cover and chill 8 hours. Garnish with lemon and lime slices, if desired. Yield: 12 servings.

I made this cheesecake for a party Friday night. It was a going away party for a co-worker who loves tofu. The cheesecake was nice and light and very flavorful. A definite repeater.

I used my new microplane zester for the first time (recommended by someone on this BB). It's a great tool. I kept saying "Oh, YES! Oh, YES!" as I grated my lime. I even had my husband try it, since I was so impressed and wanted to share the experience. He, however, has obviously not grated a lemon or lime on a box grater recently, as he did not share my enthusiasm. LOL
