Missteps:
The crust is hilarious and sort of ruins the cake, I think. It is not terrible, as it is made of three ingredients that are all quite edible on their own. It is just not delicious, which is the ultimate goal of a cheesecake.
The one lemon was not enough for a tripled recipe.
The half package of cream cheese was absorbed by the tripled recipe and offered no noticeable flavour enhancement while still contributing 22.5 g of fat.
(The absence of extra firm silken tofu is clear, but after a few days in the fridge is stopped mattering. After a cost/benefit analysis, I think I will continue to use the $1.50 tofu for future attempts.)
The texture still is not right, but I do not think that the tofu texture is the problem. An ingredient, a step or a technique is missing...
Next time:
- Make a more appropriate crust;
- Use more lemon;
- Forget the cream cheese; and
- Do something (?) to improve the texture.
