Look at me popping in on a Thursday! Hi!
I’m going to make this a quick one….
I often find myself wanting to share various sauces, dips, spices, and more with you as ingredients in bigger recipes. Kind of like this gingerbread spice and this enchilada sauce. SO, I’m going to be doing a bit more of that on Thursdays :)
Today we have Tofu Vegan Sour Cream. I’ve made dairy free sour creams in a few different ways and making it with tofu is one of my favorite ways (cashew cream sour cream being a close second).
In typical fashion, you can expect to see some yummy recipes in the coming weeks that include this tofu sour cream.
Tofu Vegan Sour Cream Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 package of firm tofu, roughly 400 grams of [url undefined]tofu[/url]
- 1 tablespoon of miso paste
- 1 clove of garlic
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ cup of lemon juice
- 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed) to achieve your desired consistency. Could also add additional lemon juice instead
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. If you want the consistency to be a bit thinner and creamier, add in a bit of water or additional lemon juice.
- ENJOY!
Hello. I’m wondering about the texture from the tofu. Have you tried this recipe with silken tofu or do you think it’d work out? I definitely love creamy sour cream. Thank you.
I still haven’t tried this with silken tofu but I think it would work well!
Fabulous recipe! I had it over some chili (YUM!) and then I made some into vegan ranch dressing. This is super delicious! A keeper of a recipe! Now to check out the rest of your site….?
Thanks so much for this recipe! I’ve been missing sour cream so much since becoming vegan and I’m so excited to try this on burritos and baked potatoes!! Any substitute ideas for the miso paste? I know where to buy some I just am curious if there’s something simpler to sub it with?
oh man I wish that I could help but I’m honestly not sure what a good substitute would be for miso paste. I hope that you are able to find it though and like it!
I’m new to the vegan way of life, so alot of recipes are being whipped up to see what I like, and what the hubby will eat. This is a keeper! Thank you for sharing this with all of us..my taste buds thank you too ?
So glad that you liked it! Thank you for coming back to let me know. That means a lot!
This was great, thanks! Still has a slight tofu flavor, but whipped up nicely. I used this in Spinach Dip instead of the sour cream and the difference is only very slight.
Can anything else be used besides miso paste? Thanks
So excited to try the recipe! Tha you for sharing. Quick question, about how long is it good for in the fridge? And can you freeze it?
I kept mine in the fridge for about a week but I’ve never tried freezing it
Love this idea! The vegan sour creams in the store have way too many artificial ingredients, so I don’t bother. Nice touch with the miso. Will definitely make this soon!
