Tofu Cream Cheese



Spread this on your bagel or roti for a quick snack. Tofu cream cheese is friendlier to cows than traditional cheese. With half the fat, it’s also friendlier to your waistline!

12.3 oz. (1_ cups) extra firm silken tofu
3 1/2 Tbsp. cashew butter or 5 Tbsp. raw cashews, finely ground
4 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. liquid sweetener (optional)




Place the tofu in a clean tea towel, gather the end up and twist and squeeze for a couple of minutes to extract most of the water. Crumble into a food processor with the remaining ingredients and process for several minutes until the mixture is very smooth. You may have to stop the machine and loosen the mixture with a spatula once or twice. Use right away or scrape into a covered container and refrigerate. It firms up with refrigeration.


Makes 2 cups
