What’s the Taste Difference Between Real Cream Cheese and Fake Cream Cheese Made From Tofu?

What’s the Taste Difference Between Real Cream Cheese and Fake Cream Cheese Made From Tofu? Honestly, when it comes to cheesecake… a big difference. I bought some Tofutti brand cream cheese before Thanksgiving because I wanted to make my award winning (brag, brag) Acorn Cheesecake and I thought it was time I tried making it dairy free. When I got the Tofutti cream cheese home I tasted it and was impressed with the flavor, thinking it would be perfect for the acorn onion dip I make. But it just didn’t cut it flavor wise for the cheesecake. It wasn’t bad, it just didn’t have the rich flavor of a real cheesecake. But I do look forward to trying Tofutti cream cheese to make my acorn-onion dip. That’s on the menu for the coming holiday!
