⭐ Silken Tofu (blended with lemon juice) (Best Dairy-Free Option)
1 cup blended silken tofu + 1 tablespoon lemon juice per 1 cup sour cream Quick tip: Provides creaminess and slight tang but less fat, resulting in a lighter texture.
Silken tofu blended with lemon juice mimics the creamy texture and acidity of sour cream without dairy, making it a good vegan and dairy-free alternative. The tofu’s protein helps with custard structure, while lemon juice adds necessary tang.
Ensure the tofu is well blended to avoid graininess and add lemon juice gradually to balance acidity without overpowering. This substitute works best in quiches with strong complementary flavors.
The quiche will be lighter and less rich, with a subtle difference in mouthfeel and flavor, but still moist and well-set.
