Angelic Pie - vegan strawberry cheesecake

Ingredients.

topping:

1 block of silken tofu (you can use firm but will need to blend for longer)

1 punnet of strawberries (reserve two or three for garnish)

3 tablespoons of sugar

quarter cup of sunflower oil

a little soya milk for blending

a few drops of vanilla essence or a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream

base:

1 packet of cookies of your choice (we used Co-op Country Crunch)

3 tablespoons of vegan margarine

Whizz all the topping ingredients up in a blender until smooth (this makes the angel delight type thing). For the base - combine the cookies and marg. in a food processor (or you can crush the cookies and mix with melted marg) - press into a fairly large ovenproof dish (or two small ones whatever seems best for your quantities). Pour over the topping and bake at about 200C/400F for about half an hour until the topping is firming. remove from oven and cool. Decorate with sliced fresh strawberies and eat like an angel smile

I was going to suggest jams! My fiance's mother and I jam all the raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries that grow on her property every summer. Its a lot of work, but, man, homemade jam is yummy!

If you go this route, you may need to buy some pectin to add. Pectin is a thing that naturally occurs in fruits, it makes jams and pie fillings gel, but sometimes fruit doesn't have enough at the stage of ripeness that you have it in. I think if you buy Bell brand jars, they include a packet about how much pectin to add to different fruits for jams.
