Notes

  • If you are looking for a soy free cream, you can substitute the tofu with 150 g of raw cahews soaked overnight and 100ml of water. If you do that, you will need to blend for much more time until it is really creamy! or try our sunflower seed cream.
  • I love to add coriander and garlic, here is where you can get creative! Let me know what you tried!
  • Do not replace lime juice with lemon juice! the result will be very different
  • Firm silken tofu is key here to obtain a smooth creamy result. Normal firm or extra firm tofu can make this crumbly!
  • The combination of vinegar + lime juice is excellent to produce the tangy flavor characteristic of "dairy" products
  • As always, calories depend on the tofu. This should be a very light and high protein because tofu is just like that :)
