⭐ Silken Tofu (Blended with Lemon Juice) (Best Vegan Option)
1 cup silken tofu blended with 1 tablespoon lemon juice per 1 cup cream cheese Quick tip: Provides creaminess and slight tang but can alter texture and flavor subtly.
Silken tofu blended with lemon juice replicates the creamy texture and acidity of cream cheese, making it a suitable vegan and dairy-free substitute. The tofu provides moisture and structure, while lemon juice adds the necessary tang.
Blend thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency. Because tofu is less fatty, doughnuts may require a slight increase in fat (e.g., butter or oil) to maintain richness.
Final doughnuts will be softer and less rich, with a mild bean-like undertone, but still moist and tender.
