โญ Silken Tofu (Blended) (Best Fat-Free Option)
1:1 (1/4 cup blended silken tofu per 1/4 cup cream cheese)Silken tofu provides a smooth, creamy texture and moisture similar to cream cheese but is fat-free and lacks acidity. Its protein content can help with dough structure but may result in a less tender crumb.
Blend tofu thoroughly to a smooth consistency before adding. Consider adding a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar to mimic cream cheese tang.
The crust will be softer and less flavorful, with a slightly denser texture, but it is a good dairy-free, vegan option for maintaining dough moisture.
