'Cheese'cake

Nondairy cream cheese is the secret to this decadent dessert. Smother it with fresh fruit or melted chocolate, caramel, and pecans for a heavenly treat.

2 8-oz. containers plain nondairy cream cheese
1 cup sugar
Juice of one whole lemon
2 Tbsp. corn starch
Dash of vanilla
Graham-cracker crust
Fresh raspberries or canned cherry pie filling

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a blender or food processor, thoroughly blend together the nondairy cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, corn starch, and vanilla and pour into the graham-cracker crust.
Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
• Allow to cool to room temperature and then cover the top of the cheesecake with fresh fruit or pie filling and chill in the refrigerator until firm, several hours or overnight.
