Nothing against tofu, its a wonderful food, but I’m having trouble visualizing how tofu can ever replicate cheesecake. Do you have a recipe?

One quick google brings up this recipe: https://myquietkitchen.com/tofu-cheesecake/, which looks quite good. (I’m tempted to try it actually, it’s been awhile since I had cheesecake!)

The important thing is that it uses silken tofu, which is a totally different texture from the tofu you’d usually use in a stir fry or scramble. I’ve had silken tofu chocolate pudding and it was one of the best desserts I’ve ever experienced. I have no doubt it would make a great cheesecake.

I made a tofu cheesecake and I think I remember just taking regular firm tofu and blending it in either soymilk or water until it got velvety but IDK, maybe it tasted awful and not like cheesecake.

I assume there were other ingredients but I find the thought amusing you just blended and baked or cooled a slurry of watery soymilk tofu

Thanks friend. I’ll consider giving it a shot.

There are also vegan cream cheese variants or you can take vegan yoghurt and get the water out by wrapping it in a dishtowel. My wife is really crafty with this stuff, shoot me a DM if you have any baking related questions.

Wouldn’t yogurt be too tangy?

Depends on the yogurt really. My wife says you could also take already flavored yogurt like vanilla yogurt that way you already have some flavoring in your DIY cream cheese as well.
