cream cheese

Servings:
about 1 cupthis was a total accident. it tasted EXACTLY like cream cheese to me. only, i HATE dairy, so there wasn’t exactly a party in my mouth. i figured someone who was missing it would be appreciative though. ;)
Ingredients:
½ cup sunflower seeds, soaked
.33 cup seaweed soaked in water, reserve liquid, use seaweed in something else
1
scallion (whole thing), chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
¼ lemon (juice and pulp)
1 tablespoon raw ACV
Preparation:
place all ingredients in a small blender (like the magic bullet) and whir till creamy. the two key ingredients here are the seaweed water and the ACV.
p.s. i don’t usually post recipes i wouldn’t eat, but like i said, this would definitely hit the spot for the cream cheese-o-phile.
enjoy!

Can anything be substituted for the seaweed?

It may be stating the obvious, but only RAW apple cider vinegar should be used ... The cooked stuff is terrible, not to mention dead, Make sure to shake it up before using. I put a bit (1 TB per 8 ounces water) in my drinking water sometimes to make water taste different. It's tangy, but not as acidic as lemon or lime juice. It's an acquired taste, but I quite like it.

thats funny about "one man's garbage is another man's treasure" because some guy told me the expression last week and i had never heard that expression before. lol

i used a mix of wakame and kombu. as long as they are the soaking kind (i.e. not dulse) it shouldn't matter too much.

this sounds so much easier than trying to let the "cheese" ferment on the counter for days... thanks for posting - your a lucky one to have not liked Cream Cheese ;)

tee hee. yes, it's so weird. i was having this mind-body fight. "no it's sunflower seeds, completely vegan!" "no! it's dairy, i'm telling you i can TASTE it!" weird. =)

I'm practically the Apple Cider Vinegar spokeswoman and it didn't occur to me either kevin7197. Looking forward to trying this recipe pianissima. There's an expression like "one man's garbage is another man's treasure." This might fall in there. LOL

Oh heavens, I can't believe it didn't occur to me, lol. I was a blond baby and I still have blond roots! *smacks forehead*

apple cider vinegar. sorry!
the fact that it is fermented gives it the cheesiness

Hate to sound clueless but I am, lol. What is ACV?
