So Simple Cashew Cream Cheese
Creamy, dreamy, cashew cream cheese. So yum. Incredibly healthy and easy to make; all you need is 5 minutes and a high-speed blender. Use this cheese on everything -from risottos to sandwiches- and customize it to your liking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight*
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- ⅓ cup water
- ½ tsp Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast, optional
- ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp chopped chives, optional
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients -except the chives- in a high-speed blender and blend until creamy.
- Add the chopped chives to the cream cheese, if using, and stir to combine. Or just sprinkle on top.
- Store in the fridge and enjoy!
Notes
* Soaking nuts overnight makes them a whole lot healthier (you can read more about it here). But if you are hungry and want to make this tasty treat now, soak the cashews in boiling water for 20 minutes. This will soften them quickly.
