Ingredients

• 300 grams Silken tofu
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional for added creaminess)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water (adjust for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the silken tofu to remove any excess liquid. You don’t need to press it, but a quick drain will help achieve the right texture.

Step 2

Add the drained tofu to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil (if using), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 5

Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, and blend until the sour cream reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick but spoonable.

Step 6

Taste the sour cream and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or vinegar according to your flavor preferences.

Step 7

Transfer the sour cream to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve as a topping, dip, or use in your favorite recipes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
