-Be sure to place the springform pan onto a rimmed baking sheet. This helps keep the crust from burning. Most importantly though, because there are only nuts in the crust, some of the oil may leak through the bottom of the springform pan. The baking sheet will prevent any mess.
-You can find silken tofu in the refrigerator case near the other tofus. Sometimes, it is also called soft tofu.
-If you prefer a more traditional crust, use 1½ cups crushed vegan graham crackers, animal crackers, vanilla biscuits, or digestive biscuits combined with 3 Tablespoons of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a sprinkle of water to bring it all together. Press this into the pan and prebake for 10 minutes before you put in the fillings.
