Ingredients

  • 300 grams firm tofu drained
  • ¾ cup dairy free yoghurt unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Drain the tofu and pat dry using paper towels. No need to press it.
  • Crumble the tofu with your hands, then mash it with a fork until it is even in texture.
  • Add ½ cup of dairy free yoghurt, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well to combine.
  • Gradually add the remaining yoghurt, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve your desired consistency which should be thick and creamy, but still with a lumpy, soft texture.
  • Taste and adjust with more lemon juice or salt if needed. Serve straight away or store in the fridge until ready to use.

Notes

Storage: Store the dairy free cottage cheese in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Give it a good stir before serving, as it may separate a little.
Nutritional Information: The information provided below is an estimate only. I recommend calculating these yourself based on the tofu and the dairy free yoghurt used as these can vary between brands.
