How to Make Pine Nut Cream

  1. Combine 1 cup pine nuts and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Add 1 (14-ounce) package silken tofu, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper to the food processor.
  4. Pulse until just combined, being careful not to over-process. The sauce should be smooth but not completely pureed.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
