Spicy, Tangy, and oh-so-creamy, this Vegan Jalapeño Cream Cheese is just so dreamy. Haha. Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
A Spicy Vegan “Cheese”
This Vegan Jalapeño Cream Cheese might be TOO GOOD, in fact! It is simply delectable smeared on a bagel or use it to dollop on a pizza. You really can’t go wrong with this dairy-free cream cheese.
The key ingredient is cashews. They add a richness that goes so nicely with the sharp bite of the Jalapeño. However, feel free to replace the cashews with any other nut. Just don’t forget to soak or boil them so they break down and blend into creamy goodness.
A Simple Homemade Recipe
The other amazing thing about this Vegan Jalapeño Cream Cheese is that it only requires – minutes to make! You can probably buy a similar one at the grocery store but why would you pay an arm and a leg when you whip one up at home so easily?!
I will warn you though, once you discover how simple this cream cheese is, you may want to eat bagels a little too frequently…
Go ahead make this Vegan Jalapeño Cream Cheese, you deserve it! Or better yet whip it up to share with others during the holidays because this cream cheese deserves to be shared. Spread the love and enjoy!!
