vegan cream cheese

Plant-based spread alternative

Vegan cream cheese is a plant-based spread designed to replicate the texture and tang of traditional cream cheese without dairy.

Made from nuts (cashews, almonds), soy, or coconut oil, it serves the same culinary roles—bagel topping, cheesecake base, frosting ingredient: I use vegan cream cheese in my carrot cake frosting.

Quality varies widely across brands.
