Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Silken tofu
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast

• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened non-dairy milk
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, add silken tofu, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, non-dairy milk, olive oil, and cornstarch.

Step 2

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add an additional 1-2 teaspoons of non-dairy milk and blend again.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens into a custard-like texture. Adjust seasoning, adding more black salt if needed for an eggy flavor.

Step 5

Remove from heat and use immediately in your recipe or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
