This is an amazing dairy free cream cheese that is much lower in fat than the vegan options you can find in the store with nuts as a base. It hits the taste, texture, and thickness profiles of dairy without stealing the milk from baby calves. This is a spreadable cheese that can be enjoyed over English muffins, bagels, crackers....you name it or use it in baking recipes in place of cream cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Can substitute another vinegar, but you may want to add a little salt.
You can cut the nutritional yeast in half (1 Tbsp) if you desire. I wouldn't leave it out, because it adds a little nuance of cheese taste to the finished product. But if you don't use nutritional yeast, by all means, leaving it out will still produce a nice cream cheese.
