Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (approximately 12-14 oz) silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (melted) coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Drain the silken tofu and gently pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Add the tofu, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, powdered sugar (if using), and a pinch of sea salt into a blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Taste the tofu creme and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more maple syrup or lemon juice, if desired.
Transfer the creme topping to a sealed container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up slightly and flavors to meld.
Once chilled, stir gently and use as a topping for desserts, fresh fruit, pancakes, or any dish that calls for a creamy, dairy-free option.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
