Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (raw with no shell and unsalted)
  • 1/2 of 15 oz extra firm tofu ( not silken)
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp dairy free milk
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp powdered white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Soak sunflower seeds in hot boiling water for 5
    minutes. Darin it and keep it aside.
  • In the food processor/blender combine drained
    sunflower seeds, tofu, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and dairy free milk. Blend
    it smooth until creamy. Stop at intervals if required to scrape from the
    bottom.
  • Spoon it out into a glass mixing bowl and stir in
    onion powder, sugar and salt. (Do not steel mixing bowl as lemon juice might react to it and the taste of this spread might change).
  • Cover and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours.
  • Take it out and spread it over your bagels/toast/sandwiches and
    enjoy.

Notes

  • Preferably unsweetened tetra pack coconut milk tastes best in this recipe. However, unsweetened almond milk/oat milk/hemp milk can also be used.
  • The tofu here does not need to be pressed but drain the excess water from the package.
  • This recipe tastes best the next day. The longer they stay in the refrigerator the better this cream cheese tastes. Therefore, let it rest a minimum of 3 hours before spreading it over your toast/bagel/sandwiches.
  • Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight glass container about 2 weeks.
  • This recipe makes about 1 ¾ cups.
  • I have provided step wise images in the post above for your reference.
