Ingredients:
1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 (8-oz) pkgs. light cream cheese
1 (12.3oz) pkg. Mori-Nu® Silken Tofu Extra Firm
3/4 cup sugar
1 T. cornstarch
1/3 cup cranberry juice cocktail concentrate
2 tsp. finely shredded orange peel
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup fresh cranberries, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
6 egg whites
Orange Sour Cream Topping
1 cup light sour cream
3 T. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. finely shredded orange peel
 
Instructions:
  1. To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch springform pan with no-stick vegetable spray. Sprinkle graham crumbs evenly inside the bottom of pan.
  2. To make the cheesecake: in a food processor or blender, puree tofu until smooth. Add sugar, cream cheese and cornstarch. Blend until smooth. Add cranberry juice concentrate, 2 tsp. orange peel, cranberries and walnuts. Blend until smooth. Add egg whites and blend until just mixed. Pour into prepared pan. Tap pan a few times against counter to break up any air bubbles.
  3. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until cheesecake puffs and the center is almost set. Transfer to a rack. Cool for 15 minutes, then run a knife around the sides to loosen the cake. Chill, uncovered, overnight. Cover with topping.
  4. To make the orange sour cream topping: In a small bowl stir together light sour cream, sugar, and orange peel. Spread over chilled cheesecake. Chill until serving time or at least 2 hours.
