Garlic-Herb Tofu "Cream Cheese" Spread

One of the recipes we'll be trying later in the week calls for a garlic-herb-flavored cheese spread. Never having actually had the cheese spread in question, I set out to create a vegan version. The results were spectacular... my boy happily licked some off my fingers.

4 oz. tofu cream cheese
1-1/2 tsp tahini
2 healthy sprinkles garlic powder
2 healthy sprinkles nutritional yeast
1 tsp dill mustard
1/4-1/3 cup fresh parsley, minced
1-2 fresh basil leaves or a tiny sprinkle of dried basil

Mix all the tofu spread ingredients until evenly mixed. The mixture will be stiff.
