Vegan Recipes

From Living on Live Food by Alissa Cohen

Vegan Cream Cheese

4 cups macadamia nuts
2 1/2 - 3 cups of water

1. In a Vita-Mix or blender, blend nuts with enough water to turn over. Start with 1 1/2 cups of water, adding more as needed. (Make sure you keep this as thick as possible).

2. Place mixture in a small bowl, covered with cheese cloth, and let it sit at room temperature for at least 6-8 hours.

3. Store in refrigerator.

"Hard to believe that this would taste like cream cheese using just water and macadamia nuts, but it does! And the texture is perfect.

Vegan Mayonnaise

3/4 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons avocado
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup olive oil

1. Blend first four ingredients together in a blender.
2. Slowly add the oil and continue to blend until smooth.

"Although thinner than real mayonnaise, it tastes like the genuine article! To make this thicker, just chill for a few hours."

Vegan Sour Cream

1 1/2 cups cashews
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon white miso
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy.

"This is a little sweeter than real sour cream. It's scrumptious served with enchiladas or any other dish that would normally call for a side of sour cream."

Vegan Whipped Cream

"Three variations! The grape juice adds a terrific taste, but there may be times when you just don't have it on hand."

2 cups cashews
3/4 cup whole orange
2 dates, pitted

or

1/2 cup cashews
1 cup grape juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

or

1 cup soaked cashews
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon honey

For any/each of these recipes, just blend all ingredients until smooth!
