Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (14 ounces) silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
Instructions
Drain the silken tofu to remove excess liquid, but do not press it as you want it to retain some moisture for creaminess.
In a blender or food processor, add the silken tofu, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, and plant-based milk.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the sour cream and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice for extra tang, a pinch of salt for seasoning, or a splash of plant-based milk for a thinner consistency.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the sour cream to thicken slightly.
Serve chilled as a topping, dip, or side. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
