Pressing Tofu - 2 saucers or plates, depending on tofu size, and something heavy, like canned good or mortal and pestel or a really big recipe book. Sandwich the tofu between plates - place heavy topper - 5 mins - drain - done.

Vegan for 8+ years and I've never pressed my tofu (except maybe a handful of times when I first went vegan). I find boiling in salt water better, and I've heard microwaving also works to remove moisture! I've been vegan long enough that I could eat tofu straight out of the package!

For making soy yogurt instead of soaking the beans I used Miyoko Schinner's recipe from her book "The Homemade Vegan Pantry" leaves a less beany taste. Boil the beans for one minute then let them cool for 30 minutes before rinsing and putting them in the soymilk maker. BTW you can use a blender to make soy milk but it is very messy and time consuming. I did it a couple times and the cleanup was horrible. The Tribest is probably my most used appliance other than the microwave.

@TastyThriftyTimely

Yes I love using silken tofu for creamy pasta sauces & I use it for an oil-free “mayo” too! It is thinner and has a much higher water content though so I find that it is too thin for a “cream cheese” for me. The extra firm tofu does have a slightly stronger tofu taste but the firmness creates a thicker, more spreadable “cream cheese”. I do think silken tofu is a little underrated so I’m glad you liked the “cheesy” sauce you made!

Hi, I have a few questions about the recipe. I've tried to make this cream cheese to use for the frosting in your vegan carrot cake recipe (which is very delicious! Thanks!). However, I can't seem to get the same creaminess and colour of my cream cheese. Mine was very "creme" color instead of almost white. I was wondering if there is a specific type of tofu you need. The taste was good though! I didn't use the dill and garlic powder, since it needed to be a natural flavour for the carrot cake. When I tried to make the frosting for the Carrot cake, my frosting got very grainy and soft and not white, fluffy and thick at all. Does the type of tofu and vegan butter you use also make a difference for this? I did use your advise to press the tofu 15 minutes in a towel, since here we don't have pre-pressed tofu. They always come in liquid. Thanks!
@TastyThriftyTimely
5 ай бұрын
Oh interesting, I’ve never tried to use this tofu cream cheese in a frosting. When I was first developing that carrot cake recipe I tried to make my own cream cheese from cashews but I had a similar problem with a grainy texture and less firm consistency. That’s why in the end I decided to recommend a store-bought cream cheese product because they tend to have other stabilizers and thickeners added that I suspect help the cream cheese to not break down. (The acidity from the lemon juice and vinegar in the tofu cream cheese may be reacting with the other ingredients and causing that grainy texture). I have found big differences between brands so that is certainly a factor that is tough to predict. I mention a couple of butter and cream cheese brands I tested for the frosting and block butter vs a buttery spread produced much better results for me. There is typically a difference in colour between brands as you mention. My homemade tofu cream cheese is definitely not super white (the nutritional yeast added probably gives off that bit of yellow colour) but perhaps your tofu is a little darker in colour as well. Again, store bought options (I would think) are designed to be (and stay) as white as possible. I’m sorry I can’t really be of more help because there can be so many differences between brands. For the carrot cake frosting to be as stable and white as possible I definitely suggest the earth balance butter sticks and Tofutti or presidents choice brand cream cheese. Mixed at room temp with the powdered sugar I have always had consistent results.

@TastyThriftyTimely

You can skip the nutritional yeast. It won’t affect the texture of the recipe but the taste will definitely be a little less savoury and “cheesy”. I think you will end up with a lighter more lemony flavour and you could boost up the other seasonings if you’re finding it needs a bit more. Nutritional yeast adds a lot of savoury flavour without much sodium so you may find that you want to add a bit more salt and other spices and herbs. (If you are used to the flavour of tofu though you might not mind a more simple flavour profile). Let me know if you try it and how you find it!

Can i skip apple cider vinegar?

You definitely can but you might find you want to add more lemon juice (or another clear vinegar) in its place. It does help to mask the flavour of the tofu. 👍🏼

Basically this is a tofu spread...

Yes it is. It’s just easier to call it a “cream cheese” alternative so that people looking for a dairy-free option can find it even if they wouldn’t think to search “tofu spread” 👍🏼

Oh you should be able to activate subtitles on all of our videos by clicking the “CC” button in the bottom right hand corner of the video! I hope this helps and let me know if you have trouble finding that button.

First off, there are much better easier and more convenient pressers. Secondly, you do not want fortified nooch

I actually really like the one I have but different ones will suit different people and I do talk about how I rarely press tofu anymore. I personally consume fortified nooch but that’s also a personal choice.

YOu people can't stop yourself from pressing tofu. LOL, even when you say that it's already been pressed. No one needs to press tofu. I've been eating it my entire life and I've been a vegan chef for years. I've made a ton of tofu, and I never press it, especially if I'm buying the extra firm tofu.

I actually don’t press my tofu in this video. I demonstrate how to press it if anyone wishes to but I ask the viewers to tell me if they are still pressing tofu because I haven’t in years. You have answered my question 👍🏼

A chef in your house? Or do you actually manage a kitchen, do payroll, order goods, make a menu and supervise the staff?

OK you had me all the way through all of the talking and all of the non-cream cheese spread discussion up until the point where you used concentrated lemon juice. Sorry I’m out.
@TastyThriftyTimely

I’m sorry to hear that. I do say in the video that fresh lemon juice is always better but I do use concentrated lemon juice when I don’t have fresh lemons on hand. Fresh lemons can also be on the pricier side for me so the concentrate comes in handy in those circumstances.
