This is our own recipe, but we have to give credit where credit is due: this is a riff on the Native Food Cafe vegan vanilla creme. This vegan almond cream is delicious over pie, over cake, or on its own as a custard dessert. To make vanilla cream, simply omit the almond extract, but trust us, this is most delicious – very delicious! – as vegan almond cream.

Vegan Almond Cream

1 brick organic firm silken tofu
3/4 cup organic vanilla soy milk
1/3 to 1/2 cup vegan sugar
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
1 teaspoon organic almond extract

Put everything into a blender or food processor. Blend until creamy, scraping sides as necessary.

Pour into bowl and chill until ready to serve.
