Superb Lemon Tofu Cheesecake

This is a modified version of my favourite cake at 
The Green Door restaurant in Ottawa, Ontario.


750  g      firm silken tofu
1/2 cup   almond butter
1/2 cup   maple syrup*
1    cup   lemon juice
2    tbsp  lemon rind
2    tbsp  vanilla
2    tbsp  arrowroot
pinch sea salt 

Put above in a food processor.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into pie crust  (see below)  or 
for crustless pie, into oiled glass pyrex dish.

Bake into 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

The edge should be brown and the center still a bit soft.
Allow to cool and set for two hours, then put in fridge.

Serve with raspberry sauce (see below).
