⭐ Silken Tofu Blend (Best Fat-Free Option)
1 cup blended silken tofu per 1 cup heavy cream Quick tip: Neutral flavor and creamy texture, but less fat and richness than cream.
Silken tofu blended into a smooth puree provides a creamy texture that can substitute for heavy cream’s body in marinades. It is low in fat but high in protein, which helps with coating and tenderizing.
Blend thoroughly for a smooth consistency. Because it lacks fat, it may not emulsify or carry flavors as effectively, so consider adding a small amount of oil if fat content is critical.
The final marinade will be lighter and less rich, which may be desirable for lower-fat preparations but less ideal for recipes relying on creaminess.
