Hi there, Ameera here!

I love this Vegan Cream Cheese!  It is soOoOo good.  I literally wanted to put it on everything.  Dad said he loved it and preferred it over regular cream cheese, which says a lot!  The macadamia nuts give it this buttery richness that just took this cream cheese over the top.

Zaatar Goodness

We made our Quinoa Flatbread recipe and created mini flatbreads. Then we spread some of our delicious Vegan Cream Cheese on mini Quinoa Flatbreads and topped with zaater spice, sliced cucumbers, and pomegranate molasses. Makes for a fantastic snack or special morning treat! So much YUM! I’ll let Mom tell you more.

Hi! Robin here!

I totally feel in love with this Vegan Cream Cheese, I will be perfectly honest, I really didn’t think I was going to like it because I am a cream cheese lover from waaayyyy back in the day. I truly thought that an amazing vegan cream cheese (that is WFPB) was unattainable.

I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and texture of this vegan cream cheese. While not the same, it is pretty darned close even if I do say so myself.  I was happily spreading this yumminess on WFPB crackers and flat breads!

We hope you give this recipe a try! If you try this Vegan Cream Cheese recipe, we would love to know if you enjoy it as much as we do! Please leave us a review! Post a picture on Facebook or Instagram and tag us!  We would love to hear from you.

Instructions

1. Place the raw cashews and macadamia nuts in separate bowls and cover with boiling water, allow to set for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, discard the water. Or boil the cashews and macadamia nuts in water for 10 minutes.
2. In the meantime, also place ½ cup of unsweetened plain plant yogurt into a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and allow to strain for 30 minutes. You should have about 1/3 cup of strained yogurt after 30 minutes. The water from the yogurt should strain off, discard the water.  Note:  If the yogurt is already thick, then you can skip the yogurt straining step and just add 1/3 cup yogurt.
3. After 30 minutes, place the cashews, macadamia nuts, strained yogurt, and all the remaining ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend on high for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
4. Place the mixture into a glass bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
