FAUX SOUR CREAM (TOFU)



Faux Sour Cream (Tofu) image

There's a couple recipes for tofu sour cream here on 'Zaar, but none quite like this one, so I figured I would post it. This is from the book, "How It All Vegan." It tastes surprisingly like sour cream... I mean, considering its tofu. I used basil vinegar and I think any flavored vinegar would probably be nice.

Time 5m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups tofu (soft or medium, preferably, about 1lb)
1/4 cup oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice or 3 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon artificial sweetener (sugar, honey, whatever floats your boat)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or Braggs Liquid Aminos if you're into that sort of thing)

Steps:

  • Get out your blender or food processor.
  • Throw all the ingredients in and blend, blend, blend until it is creamy.
  • This may take a while, but it will happen.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly (I added a bit more soy sauce and vinegar to mine).
  • Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
  • This should keep for about 5 days.
  • It may seperate upon refrigeration, so in this even, just mix it back together with a fork before serving.
  • Mine has sort of a brownish-tint (perhaps from the soy sauce), and I wouldn't necessarily try and pass this off as real sour cream on your hubby's baked potato, but if you want it for a recipe (not sure about baked goods) this should be okay.
  • If using for Vegetarian or Vegan and you wish to use honey please check to make sure they consume honey. Many do not.

VERY SPECIAL TOFU SOUR CREAM



Very Special Tofu Sour Cream image

From "The Real Food Daily Cookbook" by Ann Gentry. This is a truly amazing sour cream. I have made it five times already (in one week after eating at RFD) and used it plain & in several recipes. It actually has less calories than dairy fat free sour cream & is infinitely more delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have..
