Ing
1 1/2 cups of frozen mixed berries
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup raw sugar
3 teaspoons of agar agar
300 grams Silken tofu, well drained
1 tub Kingland cream cheese
200 grams plain vegan biscuits
75 grams vegan margarine


Method
Crush the biscuits, melt the marg and combine well with the biscuits, press into a greased springform cake tin.
Put the berries, water and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the agar agar (you may want to dissolve in a little of the liquid before adding) and simmer for about 10 more minutes,leave to cool.
Process the tofu, cream cheese until smooth, then add the berry mixture and process more.
Spread the mixture on top of the biscuit base with a spatula.
Set in the fridge, best left overnight or for several hours.
Top with a chocolate ganache, drizzle with melted chocolate or would be amazing with a cashew cream!
