How to Prepare Garlic Cashew Cream Cheese [Vegan]

Drain the cashews and add into a high-powered blender, along with the oil, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until it has formed a smooth, thick paste that resembles cream cheese. If it is too thick, then add a little warm water.
Transfer to a small dish and sprinkle over the dried rosemary.

Notes

The garlic-infused oil can be substituted for one tablespoon of plain rapeseed or olive oil and one small crushed clove of garlic but the taste from the garlic will be stronger.
