Rate Recipe

This versatile, vegan cream cheese substitute can be used in sweet desserts, as a savoury spread on bagels, or as a general replacement for regular cream cheese.

Method

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Run the smoothie program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase it to its highest speed.
  3. Blend for 40-50 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients towards the blades. Chill for 6-8 hours before using.

Chef Notes:

Make this a day ahead of time to significantly thicken the mixture. A great non-dairy alternative to traditional cream cheese. Opting for a cashew-based cream cheese means you’re swapping out saturated fat for healthy fat.
