Need a cheesecake recipe

[Blinky]

I am going to a potluck on Friday and I want to bring a "cheesecake". Does anyone have a cheesecake recipe? Thanks.

I'm looking forward to see some of these recipes! I only miss cheesecake, and have only tried one recipe which turned out really gross! I'm kinda scared that I'll try another and it will turn out equally yucky! :(
Take care.

Dear Roxanne, this is one of my all-time faves! it's not exactly cheesecake, but more like a flan so I hope it's ok:
First you make your pie-crust:
1/2 cup wholemeal (wholewheat) flour
3/4 cup dessicated coconut
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 cup sweetener (I use organic unrefined sugar which is vegan)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
-mix together dry ingredients. Whisk together oil and water and stir into dry ingredients. Press into flan dish and chill till needed.
Filling:
400gr tofu (500 gr= 1 pound, approx. I just use a regular-sized block of tofu), medium-firm
3 ripe bananas
2 heaped Tablesp. carob powder (or use cocoa for richer taste)
1 teasp. cinnamon
1/2 cup sweetener
1/2 tin coconut cream
1 cup dessicated coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla essence.
-Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth. Pour into pastry case. Bake at 180C (350F) for 40-45 minutes. Chill before serving.
Hope you get this in time for your potluck!

Cheesecake

This one is a good one but the recipe calls for Cool Whip. I guess someone said it isn't vegan but mentioned a different brand that is. I haven't been able to find that brand so I make mine with Cool Whip. Here is the recipe:

1 envelope Emes Lemon no sugar jello pkg.
1/2 c. hot water
1 Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, room temp
12 oz Cool Whip
Graham cracker pie crust
1 T. lemon zest, opt.

Dissolve Emes jello in the hot water in your blender. Let dissolve a minute or two. Add Cool Whip and cream cheese. Fold in lemon zest and pour into pie crust. Refrigerate. Top with a thickened berry sauce, such as huckleberry or strawberrie to make pretty. Actually, I don't put it on top. I wait and do it when I serve it. Cut into 8 pieces, and on each serving put only 1-2 teaspoons of topping, letting it run a little down the sides. It makes it so much prettier!! This is very simple but elegant and it DOES taste closest to cheesecake than any other recipe I've ever used.
