Simple & Rich Tofu Cream Cheese

I adjusted a recipe from a macrobiotic recipe book to reduce the calories. As a breastfeeding mother, I am trying to cut the amount of sugar and dairy products I consume. I also recommend this for people with food allergies.
This keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days.
If you don't take the time to drain the excess water from the tofu, the cream cheese will end up smelling too much like tofu. In my house, we also use this to decorate cakes. Recipe by Amaguriguri

Rich and Smooth Tofu Cream Cheese Ice Cream Rich and Smooth Tofu Cream Cheese Ice Cream
While experimenting to make a tofu-cream that doesn't smell like tofu, I put it in the freezer to chill it quickly. It turned into ice cream... and my daughters loved it! You can barely notice the tofu smell.There are various ways to drain tofu, but squeezing was the easiest and fastest method to adjust (the amount of water to drain), so that's what I've been using.By boiling the tofu and squeezing it out thoroughly, the distinctive taste of tofu is neutralized, and the texture of the "cream" becomes smooth and rich. If you press too hard on the tofu while draining the water, the tofu will strain out, so the key is to press firmly, yet slowly. If you press out too much moisture from the tofu, it will become dry and grainy. If that happens, add a little water. Recipe by PUKAFU cookpad.japan -
