Ingredients

  • 16 ounces firm tofu use GMO free if possible
  • ¼ cup raw cashews or blanched almonds or sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Miso paste
  • 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Optional Flavours
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dill weed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add everything to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Refrigerate for one hour or longer to chill and thicken.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain and pat your tofu dry to avoid excess liquid in your tofu cream cheese. You want a thick spread to truly resemble the real deal.
  • Use a food processor rather than a blender. It will be harder to blend smoothly in a blender due to limited liquid ingredients. Plus it's more difficult to transfer thick spreads from a blender, where there is less space between the blades.
  • Refrigerate for at least one hour before using. This will help it firm up and thicken.
  • Refrigerate your tofu cream cheese in a sealed container or glass jar for 5-7 days.
  • To keep longer, separate into smaller portions and freeze all but one in air-tight freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Keep 1 in the fridge for immediate use. Thaw the remaining portions as needed.
