How to make
The preparation for the vegan cream cheese recipe involves pre-soaking the cashews in water for about 4 hours.
Strain the soaked cashews and add them into a food processor or blender on high speed.
Add the lemon juice, yeast, apple cider vinegar, salt and plant-based milk into a food processor or blender.
Blend the ingredients, until a smooth and creamy mixture is obtained.
This may take a few minutes, so be patient and stop every now and then to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Taste the mixture for this cream cheese and add more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, transfer it into an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to set.
Serve the vegan cashew cream cheese on crackers, pretzels or as a spread on sandwiches.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy vegan cream cheese!
