This tastes as much like cream cheese as I can get it and I think it's extremely close. I use it for sandwiches and even cheesecakes. For a nut-free alternative, look for my coconut cream cheese recipe

If you can't use my cashew cream cheese, hopefully you can use this one instead. It's great for sauces, sandwiches and crackers. It sets at room temp but depending on how much vinegar / agar you add you can change the level of set for a slicing consistency or a spreadable cheese

Vickys Pumpkin Ice Cream Vickys Pumpkin Ice Cream

To make it even creamier add a splash of full fat coconut milk . If you leave this in the freezer and forget about it, it will freeze solid. It's intended for immediate use -

I actually didn't mean to make cookies....they were kind of a happy accident as I should have been making cupcakes but my mix was too thick and I didn't have any more milk left to thin it down so I had to amend it a bit. The kids devoured them in no time regardless!
