Title:   Tofu Whipped Topping
Category:   Sauces & Gravies - Clean (Only natural/organic ingredients), Vegetarian
From:   Neal Barnard
Ingredients:  
1 1/2 c (about 12 oz.) firm silken tofu- crumbled
1/4 c pure maple syrup
1 T organic canola or safflower oil
2 t vanilla extract
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Directions:   Combine all ingredients in food processor and process until completely smooth and very creamy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tip: the secret to the ultra-creamy consistency of this topping is processing it for several minutes, which eliminates any graininess. After the long processing time the texture will be miraculously transformed. A food processor should be used, because the mixture is too thick to process effectively in a blender.
Makes:   about 1 1/2 cups
