Recipe of the Week: Tofu Cream Cheese

Avatar of Christina-F

Posted June 14, 2012 by Christina

Did you guys get a chance to check out last week’s delish dairy-free recipe? Mac and cheese is tasty and all (and I mean really, really tasty), but there is nothing I love more than a bagel with cream cheese. Yum! You can buy vegan cream cheese in most grocery stores now, but it’s easy—and healthier—to make your own at home!

Just how easy is it, you ask? Check out the recipe below to see for yourself!

Tofu Cream Cheese
1 pkg. firm silken tofu
1/4 cup cashews
2 Tbsp. unsweetened soy milk
1 Tbsp. sweetener (this can be maple syrup, agave syrup, or regular sugar)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. lemon juice
Assorted spices, to taste

  • Combine all the ingredients except the spices in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Add your favorite spices to your heart’s content—my favorites are onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, dill, and chives, but you can use pretty much any spice that you want.
  • Cover and refrigerate for two hours to thicken.

Makes approximately 1 cup

Voilà! Now you can spread your cream cheese on a bagel, sandwich, celery sticks—whatever!

Which spices or toppings would you use to flavor your cream cheese?

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
