Ingredients
- 400 grams Extra firm tofu
- 100 grams Cashews
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 200 grams Strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the cashews in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a food processor, crumble the tofu until it resembles small curds and set aside.
Step 3
In the same food processor, combine soaked cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Blend until smooth to create a creamy mixture.
Step 4
Transfer the creamy mixture to a large bowl and gently fold in the crumbled tofu to combine. Adjust the seasoning with more salt if necessary.
Step 5
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Step 6
Remove the jam from heat and let it cool at room temperature before transferring to a clean jar or container.
Step 7
To serve, divide the vegan cottage cheese into bowls and top with a generous spoonful of homemade jam.
Step 8
Enjoy as a breakfast dish or a light snack!
