CULTURED VEGAN CREAM CHEESE 1: Tofu Based 😊 Easy Fermentation 💚 Plant Based Recipe

LIKE THIS VIDEO? YOUR THUMBS UP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED, AND PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!

// INGREDIENTS //
● 3.5oz (100g) extra firm tofu
● 0.5 cup plant yogurt (I use my homemade soy yogurt:)
● optional: nutritional yeast
● optional: lemon juice
● optional: salt, spices, condiments

// METHOD //

Cut the tofu block into pieces. Crumble the pieces as finely as possible. Fill the plant yogurt into a high speed blender or a food processor. Switch on the blender (lowest speed) and gradually add the crumbles. When everything is well incorporated, blend on highest speed until the mixture is smooth without lumps.

Because of the live cultures the soy yogurt provides the tofu and soy yogurt mixture is going to ferment. Check it after one day. It should have a strong cultured yogurt smell and be firmer. Usually a bit of water separates during the fermentation process – don't toss it away, it's probiotic hence healthy and you can drink it! Add whatever spices, herbs and condiments you like – in this video, I choose a few splashes of lemon juice and some nutritional yeast. Keep the vegan cream cheese in the fridge in a clean, closed container for up to one week.

// VEGAN CHEESE BOOK //

I haven't read the following book, as I don't use cookbooks myself, but I've seen many times in vegan Facebook group that people recommend it. So if you're looking for a vegan cheese cookbook, you might want to check out "The Non-Dairy Evolution Cookbook: A Modernist Culinary Approach to Plant-Based, Dairy Free Foods" by chef Skye Michael Conroy.

Thanks for including the temperature info, I once tried to ferment something in winter but it didn't really work as our apartment gets pretty cold...

[justcallmevegan]

Great video, can't wait to try the cheese! I think I'll add chives and garlic to mine!

The cream cheese looks yummy and so does the bagel (whole wheat?)

Hello. I tried this recipe, letting it ferment 22 hours at average temperature of 25 degrees but it only got thicker, while not getting more acidic. Is it normal? I thought yes since tofu is poor in carbs and sugar, but maybe I made some mistakes..maybe I should ferment it in the oven at 40 stable degrees.
