Ingredients

Scale
  • Silken tofu- 12oz package
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 23 teaspoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (sub your favorite hot sauce)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 15 cranks fresh black pepper

  1.  Add all ingredients to a high powered blender. 
  2. Blend for 30 seconds, scrape the sides of the blender with a spatula and blend again.
  3. Taste and adjust flavors as needed.

More heat= Add more canned chipotles in adobo sauce

More tang= Add more lemon juice or white wine vinegar

More cheese= Add more nutritional yeast

Flavor a little bland?= Add another pinch of salt


Notes

This recipe is designed to use SILKEN TOFU, not regular tofu. The firm silken tofu delivers the best result.

Tofu cheese lasts in the fridge for 5-7 days, you can also freeze it up to 1 month.

If you can’t find canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (usually in the Mexican foods section) substitute your favorite hot sauce!
