Easy tofu cheese recipe – Simple and Quick

Are you looking for a quick tofu cheese recipe? If yes, then you’re are the right place. This vegan tofu cheese recipe yields smooth, creamy, and tasty cheese that is a great substitute for ricotta cheese in pasta, pizza, sandwiches, and even desserts.

This recipe uses tofu as a base and with the addition of some other ingredients, you have a full vegan cheese that tastes like normal ricotta cheese.

I like to add it as a spread to smoked cornbread, and smoked poblanos. It also goes great with pasta as well, especially saucy pasta that requires cheese.

The best part about this recipe is that it’s ready in just a few minutes and all you need to do is add all the ingredients in the processor and you have a perfect cheese.

Key Ingredients

• 14 oz tofu (firm)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tbsp white miso paste
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1-2 tsp dried oregano, basil, or Italian season (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

• Take tofu and drain all the excess liquid. However, don’t press tofu.
• Break it into small pieces and it is to the food processor.
• Add all the ingredients into the processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
• Once ready, store the tofu cheese in an airtight jar.

Chef Notes

1. If you feel like the tofu cheese is still too thick, you can add 1-2 tbsp of water to achieve desired consistency.
2. Make sure to scrape the sides of the blender after a few seconds while processing.
3. Tofu cheese can be stored in a refrigerator for over 1 week.
4. If you don’t have miso, you can add salt in its place.
5. If you are making tofu cheese for a sweet dish, leave out garlic, and herbs.
