1 tablespoon vanilla extract

One 14-ounce block of firm tofu, drained and thoroughly rinsed, then pressed for a full hour to remove excess moisture.

Preparing Delicious Vegan Cream Cheese Blintzes with a Luscious Blueberry Drizzle

Combine the milk, 1 3/4 cups of water, melted butter, whisked flour, pinch of salt, granulated sugar, and a hint of pure vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until fully mixed. Is the batter extremely fluid? If the mixture appears too dense, consider adding the remaining 1/4 cup of water to achieve the desired consistency. Allow the dough to repose for a half hour.
Heat an 8-inch crepe pan or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with a small amount of melted butter. Pouring 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, gently swirl it to achieve a uniform coverage of the bottom, then return any excess to the remaining batter. Allow the batter to cook for 30 to 45 seconds, allowing it to set properly. Employing a heat-resistant silicone spatula, carefully release and flip the delicate crêpe with a gentle yet decisive motion. Cook another 30 seconds. The crêpes should possess a supple texture, tenderly yielding to the touch without being crunchy or brittle, and exhibit a delicate golden hue. Arrange the crêpes on a plate as they are completed, then proceed to cook the remaining batter in batches until all of it has been utilized. Wrapped the stack of crêpes in a towel to prevent them from drying out and losing their delicate texture.

Place crumbled tofu in a mid-sized mixing bowl. Blend the cream cheese thoroughly with the remaining ingredients until a smooth consistency is achieved. Your hands are the most effective instruments at your disposal.
Combining the nutty flavor of nutritional yeast with a hint of sweetness from sugar and a touch of salt enhances the overall taste experience, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that will leave you wanting more. Mix well to thoroughly combine. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more sugar or salt as desired. The desired flavor profile for the mixture should be a harmonious balance of sweetness, reminiscent of sweet cheese, with subtle notes of saltiness.

Place two tablespoons of sweet cheese filling in a horizontal line along the bottom one-third of the crêpe. Tuck the bottom edge of the crêpe towards yourself, ensuring it conceals the filling by a small margin.
Tuck the edges inward, creating a compact shape that lies flat. Assemble the crêpe into a compact bundle by rolling it away from yourself two or three times, ensuring that the seam faces downwards. Repeat the cooking process with any remaining crêpe batter.
Heat a mid-sized skillet to a moderate temperature. A pat of rich, artisanal vegan butter melts effortlessly into the sizzling skillet. Crisp the blintzes to a golden brown in a skillet over medium heat, cooking each side for approximately two minutes.
Removing the blintzes from the skillet, carefully place them on a paper towel-lined plate to allow excess moisture to drain. Until every last blintze has been crisply fried to perfection. To serve, lightly dust the blintzes with confectioner’s sugar and accompany them with a drizzle of sweet blueberry sauce.
