This is actually an altered recipe from a vegan cook book called Native Foods. I L-O-V-E cheesecake....I'm a snob about cheesecake, and this cheesecake tastes just as good as it's dairy counterpart. Serve it with fresh berries for an extra special treat.

I ate there about a year before the cookbook came out. All that time I kept wishing they would come out with a cookbook so that I could have that cheesecake recipe.
