Homemade Plantbased Cream Cheese Recipe

Making homemade Plantbased cream cheese is easier than you think! With just a few simple ingredients, you can prepare fresh and creamy cheese at home. Whether you use it as a spread, in desserts, or to make flavored versions like chive cream cheese or strawberry cream cheese, this guide has got you covered.

Why Make Plantbased Cream Cheese at Home?

• No preservatives or artificial additives

• Richer, creamier, and fresher taste

• Customizable flavors like jalapeno cream cheese or pumpkin cream cheese

Ingredients:

• 4 cups (1 liter) whole Plantbased milk(oat, soy, cashew, for low carb Almond, Pea )

• 2 cups (500 ml) Plantbased heavy cream (coconut)

• 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat the Plantbased Milk and CreamPour the milk and heavy cream into a saucepan. Heat it over medium flame, stirring occasionally, until it reaches around 185°F (85°C), just before boiling.

2. Add the AcidRemove from heat and add vinegar or lemon juice. Stir gently, and let it sit for a few minutes. The mixture will start to curdle, forming curds and whey.

3. Strain the CurdsPlace a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl. Pour the curdled mixture into it and let it drain for at least 10-15 minutes until most of the whey is removed.

4. Blend Until SmoothTransfer the curds into a blender or food processor. Add salt if desired, then blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little whey.

5. Store and EnjoyStore the homemade cream cheese in an airtight container and refrigerate. It stays fresh for up to a week.
