Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Silken firm tofu
Provides a smooth, creamy body and moisture without much flavor of its own.
Fat free cream cheese
Adds thickness and a tangy, creamy structure to the dip.
Honey
Adds sweetness and helps balance the tang of the cream cheese.
Almond extract
Provides the main aroma and flavor, giving the dip its almond character.
Vanilla soy milk
Adds liquid that loosens the mixture so it blends smooth.

The step that matters

Blend until smooth and creamy. Silken tofu and cream cheese must be fully broken down and emulsified; under-blending leaves a grainy texture, so keep blending until no lumps remain.

Swap the almond

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (tofu, cream cheese, vanilla, soy milk, honey):
