RECIPES
Cheesy Tomato Pasta
A dairy version of this dish using feta cheese once went viral. But we like it best with Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese better. Roasting the cheese with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme for 35 virtually hands-free minutes renders a creamy and tangy rustic sauce this is elegant enough for company and crowd-pleasing enough for the kids. If you use pasta rather than spiralized vegetable “noodles,” this recipe requires two dishes, but who’s counting? It will be worth it regardless.
Everything Bagel Pot Pie
There’s not a thing wrong with a plain ‘ole pot pie. But once you try this version whose filling is the creamiest with just a hint of tang and whose crust is the most tender and flaky courtesy biscuits masquerading as Everything Bagels, plain ‘ole just may not be quite as satisfying. Baking the biscuits separately and arranging them on top of the filling before serving insures crusty bottoms. Sound labor intensive? Not necessarily! If you choose, you can make this warm and comforting dish in a flash with canned biscuits, frozen vegetables, and canned potatoes. Your secret will be safe.
Creamy Cauliflower & Spinach Au Gratin
Move over potatoes, there’s a new gratin in town. Wrap tender cauliflower, golden bells, and baby greens in a cream-cheesy sauce with a fresh hint of lemon zest. Then make this comfort food even more comforting with a bread crumb and vegan parmesan topping crisped to perfection.
Bourbon Frosted Carrot Cake
This memorable and rave-worthy cake must weigh 10 pounds, but not because it is dense: because it is so moist. And it includes “all the things,” as they say: carrots, applesauce, soaked golden raisins, crushed pineapple, nuts, like toasted pecans, and coconut. Brown sugar makes our Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese Frosting next level. And, though the orange zest and bourbon are optional, talk about next level: the hint of citrus and smoky bourbon will have you buzzing with delight!
Vegan Pinecone Cheeseball
This Italian'ish cheeseball, with seasoned seitan, mushrooms, and olives, transforms the popular appetizer into a meal while still bringing all the fun of noshing at a holiday party. Made with Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese and zesty spices, this cheeseball is not only delicious and travel wells, it'll also wow guests with its pinecone shape.
Vegan Cream Cheese Fudge

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake
If you are of the mind that there is no better flavor combination than pumpkin spice, we would agree with one exception: pumpkin spice plus cream cheese and caramel, all of which come together in this crowd-pleasing personification of cooler temps. A mellow Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese ribbon undulates through tender pumpkin spice cake bathed in cascades of deeply flavored praline glaze for a triple win.
