Frequently Asked Questions:
- Does this actually taste like sour cream or just tofu?
-
- The beauty of tofu is that it really doesn’t have a flavor. By combining it with the zesty lemon juice and sharp apple cider vinegar it morphs into a tart mixture that will fool even the most adamant sour cream lovers. Shhh… I won’t tell! 😉
- Can I use extra firm tofu instead?
-
- Firm tofu can replace the silken variety for this sour cream. However, it will change the consistency. Your sour cream will taste just as good but it will be thicker than the traditional. Depending on what recipe you plan to use it for, this may even be preferred.
- How long will any leftovers keep?
- Due to the fact that this homemade version is all natural, it will last approximately one week in the fridge. If it lasts that long!
