Updated: Nov 2, 2020


This cream cheese is the closest thing vegan lovers can get to cheese at our restaurant. It is a light spread made from soy milk. Great on our flat bread for a snack in the afternoon.

  • Turn off heat. The mixture in the pan will have yellowish water and the milk has solidified into clumps.

  • Pour the mixture into the sieve/colander that is lined with cheesecloth.

  • Squeeze all water gently out.

  • You can also see if you can hang the cheesecloth with the mix above the colander to drain it more.

  • For a hard cheese you have to squeeze out ALL water.

  • For a soft creamy cheese you leave some water in.

  • Scoop in clean jars.

  • Keep in fridge for use

NOTE:

If you squeezed out too much water, you can add some of the water in your bowl to the mixture (in another bowl and use a hand blender to mix it in smoothly).

If you like your cheese flavored: you can add garlic, herbs, salt, nuts or even sweet flavors.
