Vegan Cream Cheese Recipe

This Vegan Cream Cheese Recipe is so creamy, subtle and versatile. I even did a batch with cranberries and one batch with garlic and herbs – both were amazing.

The cream cheese is also great as a cake frosting or stirred into pasta or on a pizza crust – the potential of this recipe is endless!
