Creamy Deliciousness!
By: Rowanna Watson
For me, cream cheese is a comfort food. But who new you could enjoy the comfort – and be healthy too!
Awesome right?!
This recipe is so much better than the store-bought processed cream cheese. For a start – its good for you.
If you want to customize it, why not add in herbs and spices, some ideas are:
- Black pepper
- Garlic
- Chives
Ingredients
FOR THE PLAIN CHEESE SAUCE
- Coconut Milk (full fat) 1.5 Cups
- Lemon 1
- Sea Salt (or pink salt) pinch
- Nutritional Yeast 1.5 tbsp
OPTIONAL: GARLIC, PEPPER OR HERB FLAVORING
- Garlic powder 1.5 tsp
- Black pepper 0.5 tbsp
- Chives 2 tbsp
Cooking Method
Step 1
Refrigerate coconut milk, overnight or for at least 2 hours
Step 2
Open the tin of coconut milk and scoop out the coconut cream from the top of the tin. Keep the water in a container to use in other recipes.
Step 3
Mix with a handheld electric mixer or food processor. Until everything is combined and creamy.
Step 4
Use a spatula to scoop out your cream cheese. Store in a cute tub and use it as you would cream cheese. For example as a spread, dip or in recipes.

What Its Good For
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is a dairy-free great alternative to nut cheese. It’s a great immune booster, filled with healthy fats and antioxidants.
Lemon
Lemons are rich in vitamin C. As such they promote hydration and aid digestion.
Nutritional Yeast
Bursting with B vitamins, nutritional yeast is a favorite among vegans. Just one tablespoon provides 180% of the DV of B vitamins. Also contains antioxidants that help your body fight off free radicals.
Pink Himalyan Salt
Salt is essential to maintain the fluid balance inside your body. Pink himalayan salt is my favorite as it’s less contaminated than sea salt and contains lots of trace minerals.
