⭐ Silken Tofu (with 1 tsp lemon juice per 1/4 cup tofu) (Best Vegan Option)
1:1 by volume Quick tip: Silken tofu provides creaminess and moisture; lemon juice adds acidity to mimic cream cheese tang.
Silken tofu is a plant-based, neutral-flavored substitute that offers moisture and a creamy texture. Adding lemon juice introduces acidity to replicate cream cheese’s tang, which is important for flavor balance in focaccia.
Blend tofu and lemon juice until smooth. Because tofu lacks fat, the focaccia may be less rich, so consider adding a small amount of olive oil to compensate.
The resulting focaccia will be lighter and less rich, with a subtle difference in flavor but acceptable texture and moisture.
