Is Vegan Cream Cheese Healthy?

This vegan cream cheese is healthy because it doesn't have any of the extra additives to make it shelf stable and it is also cheaper than store bought "cheeses"!

How to Make Creamy Cream Cheese

The secret to making the cream cheese to come out super creamy is allowing the cashews to soak. The longer the cashews soak the creamier the "cream cheese" will be! I like to store my cashews overnight in water for ultimate creamiest, but as long as you let them soak for 30 minutes the "cheese" will come out creamy.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups raw cashews
• water
• ¼ cup unsweetened almond yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (if you can't find this at your local grocery store you can easily make your own)

What is Everything Bagel Seasoning?

Everything Bagel seasoning was first created by Trader Joe's as "Everything But the Bagel" seasoning and it became really popular. It's a blend of spices that are usually found in Everything Bagels. The seasoning originally was only found at Trader Joe's when it first came out, but it's now available at Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target and other grocery stores.

How to Make Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning

If you can't find Everything Bagel seasoning in stores you can easily make it at home.To make simply combine these ingredients (more or less depending on your preference) in a bowl:

• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
• 4 teaspoon dried minced garlic
• 4 teaspoon dried minced onion
• 1 ½ tablespoon poppy seeds
• 2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the cashews with enough water to cover the cashews and cover. Allow cashews to soak for at least 30 minutes (the longer the cashews soak the creamier the cream cheese will be! I've found the best results are when they soak overnight).
2. Drain the cashews once they're done soaking
3. In a food processor combine the drained cashews, unsweetened almond yogurt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and salt. Pulse until smooth.
4. Stir in the everything seasoning until well mixed.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container (these are my favorite) for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. I don't recommend freezing leftovers.

How to Serve Cream Cheese

My favorite way to eat this is on bagels, but it's also really good served as a dip. It's really versatile!
