Vegan cheesecake
Doesn’t this look like something from a gourmet cooking magazine?
My mom wanted to make sure that I had dessert to eat tonight at my brother’s rehearsal dinner, so she made me a Peanut Butter Chocolate Vegan Cheesecake. All that it had it in (that she remembered) was peanut butter, chocolate, oatmeal and tofu. She said she forgot to put the agave nectar in, but it tasted amazing! Very rich – I like rich desserts!
The funny thing is, a few weeks ago I was telling Steven that I was too nervous to try making a vegan “cheesecake” out of tofu, and my mom just dove in and tackled it – not that it is particularly hard – I just wondered how it would turn out. Well duh, tofu takes on the taste of what you mix it with, so tofu + chocolate = awesome.
I’m so lucky that all of the people who cook in my family are conscientious about my vegan lifestyle and try to make things that don’t have animal products in them (my grandma even bought vegan whipped cream to make me a treat for the holidays). I sure am lucky! And thankful!
Thanks, mom!

Thats a really nice thing for your mom to do. I’ve had vegan cheesecake before, and its surprisingly good. 🙂
You are really lucky! I don’t have that, most everyone thinks I am crazy or stupid, especially my mother in law…
I actually have a really delicious recipe for a raspberry vegan cheesecake, but I only make it if I am getting together with my vegan friend because otherwise I eat it all up myself! And even if it’s vegan, it’s still fattening!!!
PS: You should try this, I made it yesterday and it is awesome: http://www.theppk.com/2011/03/raspberry-jam-swirl-crumbcake/
Yum, yum!
Yum! That looks really good! I wonder if I could substitute out a different kind of jam (Steven doesn’t like raspberry).
I saw that crumbcake the other day…looks amazing! You could for sure use a different kind of jam. If I made it, I would try to cut down the amount of oil used…
Awww, your mom rules. And I love that picture of the 2 of you – you have the same smile 🙂
Nice family! I don’t think mine would go out of their way to make vegan food for me, not because they are inconsiderate or anything…that is why I just offer to cook all the time! My in-laws would NEVER even know what to make, my mom is on her way to eating vegan most of the time, so she would be more open to trying something.
That looks so good! And it’s so thoughtful of your mom to make sure you got dessert.
That looks yummy – your mom did a great job! I hope you’re having fun this weekend!
Your mom is so sweet to do that for you!
Adam and I net for lunch yesterday at a Vegan place right near my house. Felt like you were almost there with us 🙂
Yummy! What did you get?!
That is so sweet of your mom! And it looks really good. Now that it’s not so intimidating you’ll have to recreate it at home and share!
I should make it to share! Do you this Jason would try it? 🙂 Maybe we can make it in CU 🙂
That’s AWESOME! And it looks amazing!
what a sweet mama! you guys are cute! you look just alike.
YUM! That looks fantastic!! I hope you had a great time at the wedding!
aw, that is so sweet! (heehee, both your mom’s actions AND the cake itself, i’m guessing!) it does look delicious too…
