How to Make Faux Sour Cream Tofu

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess water. You can do this by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Add the pressed tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, basil vinegar, salt, and garlic powder to a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice for tanginess or salt for flavor.
  5. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best flavor and texture!
