Ingredients

  • 150 g extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 3 tbsp pine nuts (sub macadamias / slivered almonds)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tbsp plant milk (add depending on the texture)

Instructions

  • Press your tofu to drain excess water with paper towels.
  • Blend all the ingredients together until you get a ‘soft cheese’ consistency, except plant milk.
  • Try blending the ingredients without plant milk first to gauge the consistency. If it’s too dry and crumbly, add 1 tbsp milk and blend.
  • Top with your favourite toppings - I used chili flakes and dried dill!
