The whipped tofu is thick, luscious, and ideal for spreading on the toast or crackers!

FAQ
Yes, you can! It will be silky smooth and delicious! But keep in mind that the texture will be less fluffy and can be soupy. To prevent it, make sure to press the moisture out as much as possible. I recommend pressing overnight in the fridge. You might want to spoon it instead of piping, depending on the texture you get.
Tofu is naturally mild and absorbs, and that’s the beauty of it. Enhance its taste by blending in lemon zest, herbs, garlic, soy sauce, miso, sweetener, spices, or nutritional yeast. The possibilities are endless!
