How to Make Vegan Tofu Powered Sour Cream

  1. Drain the firm tofu well by pressing it in a clean kitchen towel or using a tofu press for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Combine the drained tofu, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, salt, and garlic powder in a high-speed food processor.
  3. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take 2-3 minutes.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Enjoy your homemade vegan sour cream! Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
