This Easy Vegan Tofu Sour Cream is an awesome dairy-free alternative to regular sour cream. It’s made with Mori-Nu Extra Firm Silken Tofu. Easy to make, low-fat, rich, creamy and delicious.
You can add a little Nutritional Yeast for a “cheesy” sour cream. Maybe a little dill for more of a ranch flavor. If you want to spice things up, throw in a little adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers. Hoochie Mama!
This recipe takes less than five minutes to make and is a great condiment to keep on hand. Feel free to tweak the lemon juice, vinegar, and salt to your own taste. And, it will keep in the fridge for several days.

Hi Shane,
I’ve got some firm tofu (not silken)…..Will that work in this recipe?
Thanks
Mark
It will work, but will not be as smooth and creamy as silken. But, I have used it before. The taste is still there.
Fantastic. Thanks
My pleasure!
How long will this last in the fridge?
It will usually keep for 6-7 days in the fridge.

I am in France and Silken Tofu doesn’t exist. Could I not use the really soft Tofu? The one that has a firmish yoghurt like texture.
Yes, for sure. I prefer silken but the really soft will work as well.
love the taste. can this be frozen, and how long does it keep in the fridge if not frozen ?

Hi, Karen! I’ve yet to freeze it but see no reason why it wouldn’t work. If it lasts long enough in our home, we usually keep for about 7-10 days sealed in a glass jar.
Simple and yummy recipe! I used the silken tofu in a tube and it worked perfectly!

So close to the one I make, although I like the “cleaner” taste of citric acid. What seals the deal: I add a clove or two of garlic.

Niccccceeeeeee:)
I have soft Mori-Nu silken organic tofu. Will this work?
Yes. I will be more like a “smoothie” but still good.
