Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup raw cashew nuts (boiled and drained) - see notes
  • 1/2 of 14 oz silken tofu
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup crumbled extra firm tofu

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender (except crumbled tofu) and blend it smooth.
  • Spoon it out in a bowl and stir in crumbled tofu.
  • Let it rest in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Take it out and serve it with fruits or over toast.

Notes

  • For cashew nuts – bring about 1 cup of water to boil and put cashew nuts in it. Cook at high for only 2 minutes. Turn it off and drain. If you are in a hurry cool them down under cold running water or let it come to room temperature.
  • Use any dairy free milk of your choice.
  • Store it in an air tight glass container in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
