Sour Cream ’n Onion Cream Cheese
A dreamy vegan cream cheese, with a sour cream 'n onion flavor!
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup presoaked cashews this is about 3/4 cup raw cashews; soak for 2-3 hours in warm water
- 1/4 cup plain non-dairy yogurt
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions green portion
- 1 tsp mild miso ex: chickpea miso
- 1/4 tsp sea salt rounded
- 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp guar gum lightly rounded (optional, see note)
Instructions
- In a blender (high-speed is easiest), blend all ingredients until very smooth, scraping down blender as needed. Once smooth, use straightaway or refrigerate in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Makes about 1 cup.
Notes
- Guar Gum Note: The guar gum helps give a slight viscous texture to this recipe, which more resembles commercial cream cheese (dairy and non-dairy). It’s not essential to the flavor, however. So, if you don’t have it, you can omit and simply chill the mix to help it set more before serving.
