How to Make Tofu Sour Cream

  1. Combine 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu, 1/2 cup nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a high-speed food processor.
  2. Process for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice for tanginess, salt for savoriness, or nutritional yeast for creaminess.
  4. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This will also help the texture to thicken slightly.
  5. Stir well before serving. Refrigeration may cause slight separation; simply remix before using.
