⭐ Silken Tofu (blended with lemon juice) (Best Vegan Option)
1/4 cup silken tofu blended with 1 tsp lemon juice per 1/4 cup sour cream Quick tip: A vegan option that mimics creaminess and acidity but may slightly change texture and flavor.
Silken tofu blended with lemon juice replicates the creamy texture and acidity of sour cream, which helps tenderize the dough and maintain moisture balance. The protein in tofu supports dough structure.
Blend until completely smooth and use immediately to avoid separation. Because tofu is less fatty, the crust may be less rich, so consider adding a small amount of oil to compensate.
The crust will be tender and flaky with a mild flavor, suitable for vegan diets but slightly different from traditional sour cream crusts.
