Ingredients You Need for Cashew Coconut Cream Cheese [Vegan]

  • 1 cup cashews, soaked overnight, rinsed, and drained
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, soaked for around 15 minutes, drained
  • 1 tablespoon sweet white miso
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon agave nectar
  • Pinch salt

How to Prepare Cashew Coconut Cream Cheese [Vegan]

  1. Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and process until very smooth.  You’ll need to stop the machine and scrape the sides every few minutes.  This will get smooth– it just takes time and patience.
  2. Line a mini-loaf pan or another small/shallow dish with a couple of layers of cheesecloth. Scrape the cheese into the dish, pressing down so that the cheese gets into the corners.  Press down the cheesecloth over the top, place in the refrigerator and place something heavy on top of the cheese/cheesecloth.
  3. Let the cheese rest in the fridge for over 24 hours.
  4. Carefully remove the cheese from the pan.  Take off the cheesecloth.

  2. I’ve made the break from dairy milk, but haven’t found a cheese to replace with yet. This gives me hope. It’s a long journey, but worthwhile!
