                                         Maybe you have seen the delicious dark chocolate vegan cheesecake whose major ingredients are chickpeas and firm tofu? I got to thinking that, hey, other vegan cheesecakes could have this same unusual foundation and be just as yummy (and high protein, for those who are looking for additional protein in their vegan diet).
