⭐ Silken Tofu blended with lemon juice (Best Vegan Option)
1/4 cup silken tofu blended with 1 tsp lemon juice per 1/4 cup Greek yogurt Quick tip: Dairy-free and vegan option with mild tang; texture is smooth but less creamy.
Silken tofu provides a smooth, creamy base that can mimic the texture of Greek yogurt when blended. Adding lemon juice introduces acidity to replicate the tanginess. This combination works well in risotto to maintain creaminess without dairy.
Blend tofu and lemon juice until completely smooth before folding into the risotto off heat. Avoid overheating to prevent separation.
The risotto will be creamy with a subtle tang, though the mouthfeel is lighter and less rich compared to dairy-based substitutes.
