LAST-MINUTE VEGAN CASHEW CREAM CHEESE
Call this whatever you like, a vegan cream cheese, a dip, a spread, or whatever. All I know is that it's yummy and it carries me through those days when my avocados are just not soft yet or when they are not in season (I'm based in Israel and we have food seasons). A girl's gotta have something to spread on her sourdough bread in the morning, you know what I mean. It is also just plain good! All the recipes I have found in the past require me to soak my cashews before but that requires me to plan. And I'm not good at that!

Steps:
- Combine cashews and garlic in a high-speed blender (such as Vitamix®); blend on high until cashews are reduced to crumbs, scraping down the sides of the blender in between blending. Add lemon juice and blend until well combined.
- Add water, 1/4 cup at a time, and blend until the mixture has a smooth and almost thick consistency; mixture will thicken further in the fridge. Mix in nutritional yeast. Add the last 1/4 cup of water only if needed; do not exceed 1 1/2 cups water if possible. Mixture should be completely smooth with no lumps remaining.
- Taste and add salt if needed. (The mixture will taste very lemony but will neutralize after 1 hour in the fridge.) Place in the fridge to thicken, about 1 hour.

[email protected]This recipe is a game-changer for me. I have a dairy allergy, so I've been missing out on cream cheese for years. This vegan version is just as good, if not better, than the real thing. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

[email protected]I've tried many vegan cream cheese recipes, but this one is by far the easiest and most delicious. The texture is perfect and it has a tangy flavor that is just like the real thing. I love using it on bagels, sandwiches, and even in my cheesecake.
