Dairy-Free Tofu Cheesecake

4 graham cracker squares, finely crushed
2 lb. firm tofu, pressed and very well drained
1/2 C. honey
1 tsp. almond extract or flavoring
2/3 C. sugar
2 Tbsp. soy oil
1/4 C. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract or flavoring

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a 9-in. pie pan with canola oil spray and coat it lightly with the graham cracker crumbs, tilting pan to spread the crumbs.

In a food processor or blender (a food processor makes approximately the job easier), blend all the remaining ingredients. Process until very smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Pour into the prepared pie pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hr., until sm. cracks start to form. Cool at room temperature about 20 min., then refrigerate.

Serve well chilled, cut into 8 wedges and topped with fresh fruit if desired.
