Tofu Cheesecake @ 10:04 PM
This is a recipe I always wanted to make, but just didn't have the time. However, I did have the opportunity to eat one and it's delicious! It is often plated with berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. I hope you will enjoy this recipe! When I have time, I will make it too; but for now, I can just share this recipe with you. :)

- 1 cup sugar
- 12 ounces soy cream cheese
