Ingredients:

Crust:
  1. Mc Vities Lite Digestive Biscuits crushed and then mixed with 2 tablespoons of margerine (quantity to use depends on how high/ thick you want your crust to be)

  4. 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  5. 4 tablespoons of Soy milk
  6. 1 cup  caster/ white sugar
  7. Grated lemon rind about 2 teaspoons.
Directions:
  1. For Crust: Crush the biscuits, then add in margerine to form a biscuit/pastry-ish consistency, then using the bottom of a glass, press crushed biscuits into the your baking pan of choice. Bake for 10 minutes @ 180 degree Celcius. Remove and cool it.
  2. For Filling: Blend all the ingredients above using a blender (advisable to blend tofu first then slowly add in the oil and soy milk) it should be quitea thick consistency looking just like cream cheese.
  3. Then pour the blended tofu into the cooled crust, and bake in the oven for 1 hour @ 180 degree Celcius or until it  is quite firm. Once done, remove from the oven to cool then refrigerate at least 6 hours before consuming in oder to allow it to firm up a little. You can add lemon rind or mint leaves as garnish and eat with orange slices !
