Description

This creamy cashew based cream cheese is a great plant-based swap for regular cream cheese! Use it as a bagel spread or stir it into soups and sauces to make them rich and creamy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cashews, soaked (raw or roasted is fine)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon miso paste (or 2 teaspoons soy sauce)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked and drained cashews, lemon juice, miso paste, and salt.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a small amount of water if necessary to reach your desired consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides, then continue blending.
  3. The mixture should be thick but spreadable.
