Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Start with a block of firm tofu. Drain any excess water and press the tofu to remove even more moisture. This step is crucial for achieving a creamy and whipped texture.
Whip in the Food Processor: In a food processor, combine the drained and pressed tofu, nutritional yeast, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor and blend again to ensure everything is well incorporated. Add the spring onions.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the whipped tofu and adjust the seasoning according to your preferences. You can add more lemon juice for acidity or salt for additional flavor.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the whipped tofu to a bowl and serve it as a spread on crusty bread, as a dip for veggies, or as a creamy topping for your favorite dishes. The versatility of this recipe makes it a go-to for any occasion.

Notes

Chill Before Serving: For an even creamier consistency and to allow the flavors to meld, refrigerate the whipped tofu for at least an hour before serving. This step enhances the overall taste and texture.
