Ingredients
- 200 grams plant-based cream cheese
- 150 grams silken tofu
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 40 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 100 grams fresh berries or jam (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mash the silken tofu until smooth using a fork or whisk.
Step 2
Add the plant-based cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the bowl. Mix until well combined, creating a creamy consistency.
Step 3
Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture and gently fold in until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Lightly flour your hands and form the dough into small, round patties about 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 6
Place the syrniki patties onto the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the syrniki to a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm, garnished with powdered sugar and optional fresh berries or jam on the side.
