Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup blanched almonds (soaked overnight; see step 1)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Soak the blanched almonds in water overnight. Rinse and drain.
  • Place all the ingredients into a small blender or food processor and pulse until creamy. You might have to scrape down the sides a couple of times.
  • Transfer the cream cheese to a bowl and let the cheese chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before using it to allow it to thicken a bit. Then smear it on your bagel or bread slices! :) 

Notes

Storage: The Almond Cream Cheese will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
