Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups blanched sliced almonds
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Place the sliced almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Drain and rinse the soaked almonds before transferring them to a high-powered blender.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the blender.
  • Blend for 4-5 minutes until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. You may need to pause occasionally to stir and ensure even blending.
  • Once the texture is smooth with no graininess, the almond "cream cheese" is ready to use.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Possible Substitutions:
  • Swap sliced almonds for cashews or another nut.
  • Replace almond milk with any other type of milk.
  • Use lime juice instead of lemon juice.
