Vegan Cheesecakes!

if you want a yummy vegan cheesecake try this. i made it up the other day..i gave slices to 6 of
my non-vegan friends and they all claimed it was just as good, if not better than the real
thing..i gave some to my lady-friend, and she has since declared her eternal love for me..(results
may vary)..

..this may not work as well with the new tofutti cream cheese recipe that is just coming into stores
now..it's not nearly as good IMHO..what a shame they ruined their cream cheese and sour cream..partially-
hygrogenated whateverz..geesh we aren't all a bunch of health nazi's ya know...so if anyone has a
good alternate cream cheese recipe for this..please post it..anyways:

1 package tofutti better than cream cheese eight tenths (8/10) of a package of mori-nu tofu (a whole
package tastes different i think)
1/2 cup sugar (from a good company)

add sugar to cream cheese..mix thorughly..add tofu and mix up in a blender..

boil up some agar-agar in maybe 3/4 cup of water..(more agar=harder cake)..blend into mix..

pour into crust of your choice..add some sliced strawberries on top..chill in fridge for a few
hours..agar will solidify it..

ding!...you have cheesecake..

i didn't really measure, i just used the last of my bag..but i'd say prolly 3-5 T of flakes should
do it..just add more next time if it doesn't get as firm as you'd like..and boil the agar/water
mixture down to 1/2 a cup or so before adding it to the mix..
