cream cheese
about 1 cup
this was a total accident. it tasted EXACTLY like cream cheese to me. only, i HATE dairy, so there wasn’t exactly a party in my mouth. i figured someone who was missing it would be appreciative though. ;)
Ingredients
- ½ cup sunflower seeds, soaked
- ⅓ cup seaweed soaked in water, reserve liquid, use seaweed in something else
- 1 scallion (whole thing), chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- ¼ lemon (juice and pulp)
- 1 tablespoon raw ACV
Preparation
place all ingredients in a small blender (like the magic bullet) and whir till creamy. the two key ingredients here are the seaweed water and the ACV.
p.s. i don’t usually post recipes i wouldn’t eat, but like i said, this would definitely hit the spot for the cream cheese-o-phile.
enjoy!

Hate to sound clueless but I am, lol. What is ACV?

apple cider vinegar. sorry!
the fact that it is fermented gives it the cheesiness

I’m practically the Apple Cider Vinegar spokeswoman and it didn’t occur to me either kevin7197. Looking forward to trying this recipe pianissima. There’s an expression like “one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure.” This might fall in there. LOL

tee hee. yes, it’s so weird. i was having this mind-body fight. “no it’s sunflower seeds, completely vegan!” “no! it’s dairy, i’m telling you i can TASTE it!” weird. =)

What kind of seaweed did you use?

this sounds so much easier than trying to let the “cheese” ferment on the counter for days… thanks for posting – your a lucky one to have not liked Cream Cheese ;)

i used a mix of wakame and kombu. as long as they are the soaking kind (i.e. not dulse) it shouldn’t matter too much.

thats funny about “one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure” because some guy told me the expression last week and i had never heard that expression before. lol
