I Can't Believe It's Not Cream Cheese

Missing cream cheese? Go find yourself some sulfur-free bagels and lox and get ready to enjoy cream cheesey goodness again.

Mae's Vegan Coconut Cream Cheese  (*Note: This link has been removed.  Following is the text for said recipe):

• 2/3 cup cold coconut cream, packed*
• 1.5 tsp nutritional yeast
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp agave**

With a  hand mixer or  stand mixer, beat all ingredients together for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.

*To find coconut cream, open a can of cold, regular coconut milk. The solid top layer is the cream.

**Substitute 1 packet of NuNatural’s stevia, if desired.

NOTE: If you gently melt a bit of that coconut cream product in a double boiler, if you have it on hand, and add a tablespoon or so of that to the mixture, it even acts more like cream cheese and it enriches the flavor. It's not necessary, but I use it every time because I like the way it hardens the cream cheese more.

Mazel tov!
