IRON CHEF CHALLENGE 2: DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CAFFEINATED MONKEY MINI CHEESECAKE

When I saw this week's Iron Chef Challenge, I got uber excited and knew instantly what I was going to make: A CHEESECAKE. The great thing about this is that it incorporates your fave vegan cookie recipe.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CAFFEINATED MONKEY PUDDING CHEESECAKE

Cookie Ingredients:

All the ingredients to make your fave 12 cookie recipe. For this recipe I used Kathleen's Chocolate Cookies from The Garden of Vegan on page 181

Cheesecake Ingredients:

1/2 cup of vegan cream cheese

1/3 cup of vanilla soygurt

1/2 cup of firm tofu

1 cup of sugar

1 tbsp of agar agar

2 tbsp of flour

2 sprinkles (about a tsp) of coffee

1/4 cup of chocolate chips

1/4 cup of chopped banana chips

Step 1: Bake your favourite cookie recipe and place in a muffin tin lined with muffin liners-> SUPER IMPORTANT...Follow the same cookie directions. My cookies ended up shaping the muffin tin so it resembled a cookie bowl

Step 2: Freeze the cookies for only 5 minutes. Take out of the freezer and set at room temp.

Step 3: Hand blend all the wet ingredients including the agar agar and flour.

Step 4: Mix in the coffee, chocolate chips and banana chips.

Step 5: Cook the cheesecake mixture in a well greased glass pie plate for 40 minutes at 350 degrees

Step 6: The gross part: SCOOP out the cheesecake mixture on top of the cookies in the muffin tins and let set in fridge until desired. I like to let it go a bit longer.

The recipe is a bit thrown together and may need working out the kinks...so please give me some feedback.
