Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 package (12-14 ounces) silken tofu
• 6 tablespoons soymilk
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup brewed coffee
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 ready-to-use vegan pie crust

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your oven is ready when your cheesecake is prepared for baking.

2. Melt the chocolate: Using a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and creamy. This can also be done by placing the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.

3. Prepare the cheesecake mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the silken tofu and sugar. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, ensuring that the sugar is well incorporated into the tofu.

4. Incorporate the tofu and soy milk: Gradually add 1 cup of the silken tofu into the mixture, beating thoroughly after each addition. Then, blend the remaining 1/2 cup of tofu with the soymilk until smooth and creamy. Incorporate this mixture into the tofu and sugar mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency.

5. Add the chocolate and flavorings: Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the tofu mixture, ensuring it’s incorporated evenly. Then, add the brewed coffee and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all the flavors.

6. Prepare the crust: Take your ready-to-use vegan pie crust and place it in a pie dish or springform pan, ensuring it’s evenly spread out.

7. Pour the cheesecake mixture: Carefully pour the prepared cheesecake mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

8. Bake the cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the edges of the cake are slightly puffed up.

9. Cool the cheesecake: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked open. This helps to gradually cool down the cheesecake, preventing it from cracking. Once cooled to room temperature, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator to chill for a few hours or until set.

10. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, slice the Vegan Mocha Cheesecake into portions and serve it to your guests or indulge in a slice yourself! This creamy and decadent dessert is sure to be a hit at any gathering, with its rich chocolate flavor and silky smooth texture.
