How to Prepare Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese [Vegan]

After soaking the nuts, drain and rinse them well.
Add the nuts in blender with the other ingredients, except the oil.
Blend the mixture very well until it is super smooth.
If the mixture looks too dry, add a little bit of water.
Add the oil when you’re sure the cheese looks creamy, buttery, and smooth. Check the taste.
If you have time, leave the cheese to set so that more flavors develop.
Put a cloth on a strainer and refrigerate it.
