Ingredients
- 1 block (14 ounces) silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the silken tofu to remove excess liquid, but do not press it as you want it to retain some moisture for creaminess.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, add the silken tofu, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, and plant-based milk.
Step 3
Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Taste the sour cream and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice for extra tang, a pinch of salt for seasoning, or a splash of plant-based milk for a thinner consistency.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the sour cream to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Serve chilled as a topping, dip, or side. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
