Notes

A tasty vegan substitute for Mexican-style Crema This simple, dairy-free crema is a creamy and nutritious alternative to traditional sour cream or crema. Tofu is rich in protein, and is a good source of calcium, iron, and magnesium—nutrients that support bone health, energy metabolism, and muscle function. This versatile crema is lower in saturated fat than dairy-based versions and can be used as a topping, dip, or sauce to add creaminess without compromising nutrition.
