On another thread somewhere someone mentioned the Creamy Lemon-Lime Tofu Cheesecake recipe from the Sept. 1998 issue. I'd love to try it but I don't seem to have that issue anymore for some reason and my searches are coming up blanks. Does anyone have the recipe (or any other yummy tofu cheesecake recipes)?
Many thanks!

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 have made this cheesecake several times. It is wonderful & doesn't have the heaviness in your tummy after eating that most cheesecakes have. This is one of my favorites!
