For the base : I used 5 processed dates and water instead of the maple syrup and almond meal instead of the whole nuts.
For the cheesecake: Step three in the method for the cheesecake omitted the vanilla, coffee and sugar, so i just added it to the TOFU. I used half the chocolate and doubled the tofu quantity and it was less RICH, but still worked fine.
To serve: Topped with tinned mangoes, small fresh mint leaves, and whipped cream - it was soooo yummy.
