Tofu Cream Cheese
A creamy, protein-packed vegan alternative to traditional cream cheese, perfect for spreading, dipping, or cooking.
Equipment
- Blender or Food Processor
Ingredients
- 8 oz firm tofu half of a 16-oz block (or 1 cup soaked cashews, seeds, or beans)
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened original non-dairy milk
- 1 Tbsp tahini or other plant-based fat (omit if using nuts or seeds)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice/other vinegar
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture, if necessary.
- Add tofu and all other ingredients to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Transfer to a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
