Easy Vegan Cream Cheese

Homemade VEGAN CREAM CHEESE Toasties 😋

My kids are huge bagel + toast fans so I decided to experiment and come up with my own vegan cream cheese RECIPE and dang if it isn’t better than anything I’ve ever bought at a store.

Oil + gluten free I love this totally fresh tasting herbed version best, so please save and give it a try!! Recipe right here 👇

Easy Vegan Cream Cheese

As a family of bagel + toast lovers we love a good non-dairy cream cheese, but the truth is they are hard to find, so I made my own! It’s oil free, preservative free, gluten free + dairy free but oh so creamy and delicious. We love a thick layer on sourdough like this with extra fresh herbs and a side of fruit.

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews soaked overnight and drained
1/2 cup coconut cream **
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried garlic
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions

Soak cashews in water overnight. The long soaking time ensures the creamiest texture! Drain and rinse.
Add cashews, coconut cream, vinegar, and lemon juice to a small blender or food processor and process until super smooth.
Fold in salt, dill and chives. Taste and adjust salt and herbs to your liking.
Pour cream cheese into a small dish or jar that seals well. Seal and chill in fridge until firm.
Spread on all the toast + bagels. Enjoy!

Notes

** This recipe calls for coconut CREAM, not coconut milk. You can find coconut cream canned OR you can chill a can of full fat coconut milk overnight in the fridge and skim the cream only off the top of the can. You should get about 1/4 cup coconut cream off the top of a standard can of full fat coconut milk!
