This delicious alternative to cream cheese is best served with a firmer style cracker or veggie stick. You may also like to leave out the dill & peppercorns & pour over a little sweet chilli sauce to create your own healthy ‘Chilli Philli’.
Ingredients
1 cup raw cashews
¼ cup blanched almonds
¼ cup almond milk
¼ cup cacao butter
2 cloves minced garlic
Juice of one lime
½ tsp organic white sugar
½ tsp Sea salt
1 bunch roughly chopped dill
2 tbsp roughly ground tri-coloured peppercorns
Method
Submerge cashews and almonds in a bowl of filtered water and soak overnight. Drain away soaking water and combine soaked nuts, almond milk, cacao butter, garlic, lime, sugar and salt into a blender, mixing until a thick and smooth cream is formed.
Pour nut cream into an oiled round bowl to form a ‘cheese mould’. Sprinkle dill and peppercorns over top and press lightly into surface. Leave to set in freezer. Allow to thaw and soften prior to serving.
