FAQ
To make the vegan cashew cream cheese:. Pour the cream cheese into a small dish, and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover, then let set in the fridge for 1 hour, or until ready to serve. The vegan cream cheese will firm up and become nice and spreadable. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Cashew nuts are a great alternative as a base for vegan cheese. They are low in saturated fat, taste great, and are a good source of protein.
Going by these numbers, cashew cream is healthier than heavy cream. With that said, if you're sticking to a daily dose of just 2 tablespoons or less and you prefer heavy cream in your coffee, then by all means, use that.
Non-fermented cashew cheese can be made quickly from blended cashews, nutritional yeast (which provides the cheesy taste), and some flavour components like lemon, garlic, and spices.
If you have vegan cheese which needs to be kept cool, hence refrigeration is required, we would recommend not having it out more than a few hours.
