This dairy free cream cheese is a great alternative for dips, and as someone who should ideally follow a dairy free diet but LOVES creamy dip a bit too much – I am surprised it took me this long to write this recipe!
Typically, cashews will be soaked overnight – however I have sped up the process by cooking them in the Thermomix.
This recipe works perfectly for the Dairy Free variations of the 3 x Creamy Dips in The Healthy Mix V – French Onion Dip, Creamy Spicy Balsamic Dip & Cheese and Chive Dip,
The Healthy Mix V pre-sale starts Friday November 6th 8pm SA time.
