I was desperate for Jalapeno poppers almost gave up when I saw the price of vegan cream cheese until I remembered I could just use firm tofu.

These tasted AWESOME,

For the cream cheese I followed Nora's tofu cream cheese recipe

For the poppers, I followed Thee Burger Dude's recipe, except I subbed takis for panko bread crumbs

Nora's Tofu cream cheese is bland and not cheesey enough IMO, so I added double the lemon juice and 1/4 cup of nooch.

Once I blended the tofu cream cheese with shredded vegan cheese( just choose your favorite brand.) I seasoned the popper filling with garlic salt, smoked salt, and smoked paprika to taste, lastly I took some bacon flavored chips/bits and mixed that into the filling as well!

These came out so good, and I ended up making so much of the filling, I even had some left over(showed in the second pic) that I'm going to end up using as regular cream cheese.

Vegan cream cheese is a scam, had I gotten miyokos or kitehill, i'd have spent 10 bucks,whereas the filling for this recipe only cost me around $6.30($2.22 for the firm tofu and 4 dollars the better goods brand of shredded vegan cheese)
