"From genius chef Miyoko Schinner, author of Artisan Vegan Cheese comes this basic recipe for cream cheese. Ideal for use in cheese cakes or as a sub for anything calling for cream cheese or mascarpone. To make a block cheese, after culturing, line a sieve with cheese cloth and put a weight on top. Allow to drain for 24 hours."

  1. One word would be enough for this: AMAZING! Seriously, it is!<br/>I ate this with fresh strawberries straight from the jar and could not stop myself, it was that good! Very thick (even though I only let it sit for 12 hours) and super creamy with a mellow cashew honey-like taste. I added in real vanilla bean and that made it sinful. ;)<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, WICC!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap # 59 June 2013.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a recipe junkie and collect way too many cookbooks. But when it's time to actually make something, I quickly turn to the internet... I started avoiding meat more than 20 years ago for environmental reasons. (It takes so many resources and the pollution risks of confinement operations are huge.) I've been vegan for years now and can report that the health benefits are also real. I really don't understand why people insist on eating meat
