Put tofu, lemon zest, powdered sugar and juice in a blender. Dissolve the starch in the soy milk, then add the mixture to the blender. Discard the cherries in a colander. Add to mixture. Mix until smooth. Spread the soy filling over the base.
Step 3
Bake at 180 ° C for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 160 ° C and bake for another 15 minutes, until the middle of the cheesecake stops shaking. Chill first on a wire rack and then in the refrigerator for several hours. Remove the edges of the pan, transfer the cheesecake from the base to the platter and serve.
