Tofu Banana Cheesecake image

This is a recipe that I tweaked from a cookbook called "Light Desserts". It was banana pineapple, but that wasn't applealing to me at the moment, so I made banana orange. You could use whichever you pleased, or even something else entirely, I suppose. (Cooking time includes chilling time).
