This recipe is for vegetarians but it sure does sound interesting.  I’ve had tofu meats before and except for the hamburgers it was pretty good.  Working at a Seventh Day Advent Church meant not much in the way of meat was served.  Let’s try this recipe.  Let me know how your cheesecake turns out.

1. 1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 8 cookie sheets)
2. 2 tbsp brown sugar
3. 1 tbsp reduced-calorie stick margarine, melted
4. Cooking spray
5. 1 cup 2% low-fat cottage cheese
6. 2/3 cup (5 oz) light cream cheese
7. 1 package reduced-fat firm silken tofu, drained
8. 1 cup granulated sugar
9. 1/2 cup bottled fat-free lemon curd (such as Crosse & Blackwell)
10. 1/3 cup all purpose flour
11. 2 tsp grated lime rind
12. 6 tbsp fresh lime juice
13. 2 large eggs
14. 1 large egg white
15. 1 1/4 cups 30% less-fat sour cream (such as Breakstone)

18. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
