Fruit is sexy. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Try this luscious, dairy-free dessert you can make either with bilberries (if you can get them) or blueberries. The crust is made from almonds, dried fruits and oat bran. The body of this cheesecake-like dessert is soya based.

BLUEBERRY SOYA CHEESECAKE

serves 6

Succulent berries

What you need

For the filling

300 g (10 oz) medium-textured tofu
200 ml (7 fl oz) vanilla-flavored Soya milk
4 tbsp agar agar flakes
2 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
175 g (6 oz) fresh bilberries or blueberries
zest of 1/2 a lemon
4 tbsp liquid honey

For the crust

100 g (4 oz) almonds, soaked in hot water and skinned
25 g (1 oz) dates
2 tbsp butter
25 g (1 oz) oat bran
1/4 tsp almond extract
2 tbsp honey

Here’s how

Put all of the ingredients for the filling, except the berries, lemon zest and liquid honey, into a food processor and blend until silky. Pour into a saucepan and bring to the boil, whisking constantly. Now set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/Gas Mark 5. Place all the ingredients for the crust into a food processor and blend to mix so that you preserve the crunchiness of the almonds. If you need to add a very small amount of water, do so here. Press the blended mixture into a shallow quiche dish and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Pour the filling mixture into the almond crust and let it sit for a few minutes. Add the fresh blueberries and lemon zest and top with honey. Chill thoroughly then serve.
