Cashew Cream Cheese

by

I love cashews! They’re versatile and make a great creamy base for a number of my recipes. I make a fresh batch of cashew cream cheese each week. I use it as a spread, as a topping on my taco salad, and as a creamy addition to my veggie filled omelets. It lends a light, creamy, and slightly sweet flavor.
