Total Time: 1 hour and 25 minutes
Servings: 16
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup margarine
- 50 grams crushed biscuits
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Tofutti Sour Supreme Natural Flavor
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crust:
- Start by crushing the biscuits in a food processor until finely ground.
- Melt the margarine and pour it over the crushed cookies, mixing well.
- Add the cinnamon to the mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a springform pan, creating an even crust. Set aside.

Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, blend together the Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, Tofutti Sour Supreme Natural Flavor, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the prepared filling into the cookie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Preheat your oven to 250°C (400°F).
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F) and continue baking for an additional 60 minutes. Avoid opening the oven door during this time to prevent the cheesecake from collapsing.
-
Cooling and Chilling:
- Once the baking time is complete, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake remain inside for an additional hour or longer. This gradual cooling process helps prevent cracking.
- Afterward, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill it for several hours or until thoroughly set.
-
Variations and Serving Suggestions:
- For a decadent twist, try using brown sugar in the crust to create a caramelized flavor profile.
- Before serving, adorn the cheesecake with your favorite pie filling for an extra burst of color and flavor.
