Rich Tofu Cream Cheese
Yield: 1 1/4 (one and a quarter) cups (20 tbsp)

Cashews contribute their sweet, buttery taste, a flavour often associated with dairy cream cheese, while tofu provides substance to this rich, tempting spread. For scrumptious vegetarian "lox and cream cheese", top with strips of roasted red peppers.

1/4 (quarter) c raw cashew pieces
3 T water
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 T brown rice syrup, or 2 tsp pure maple syrup, or 1 T barley malt syrup
1 c firm regular tofu, patted dry and crumbled
3/4 (three quarters) tsp salt
scant pinch of garlic granules

Here is how you make Low-Calorie Vegan Cream Cheese:

Place the cashew pieces, water, lemon juice, and syrup in a blender, and process several minutes into a thick, smooth cream. Add the salt, crumbled tofu, and garlic granules, and process until very smooth. It is essential to blend the mixture for several minutes in order to pulverize the tofu and achieve a velvety smooth consistency. Chill thoroughly before serving.(http://www.animalrightscommunity.com/blogs/blog/animal-rights-bulletins/myspace-bulletins/2008/01/23/make-your-own-vegan-cream-cheese-mayonnaise-white-sauce-...)Number of Servings: 20Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RERELATROCIOUS.
