Tastes as near the real thing as can be! If you can't have nuts I have a coconut cream version also

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
