A Quick and Easy Vegan Cheese Spread

As promised, here is the recipe for the vegan cheese spread pictured with the Walnut Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Crackers. Macadamia nuts are my favorite nuts to make these quick “cheese” spreads. If you soak them and add a little lemon juice with your other spices, you get a light textured (like ricotta) tasty spread that is very quick to do.

      Hi, Jim, sorry this wasn’t clear. Cut 1/2 of a lemon, and then juice it. Cheers!

    Hi Susan made this today but it didn’t turn out well. Processed the nuts as described but ended up with just finely ground nuts – not creamy looking ones like yours. Transferred to Vitamix but mixture too dry so aded a little water and then just got a
    smooth paste. So it didn’t look like ricotta at all. Didn’t taste too good either to ended up throwing it away, which was a costly disaster. What did I do wrong?

      Without being in your kitchen, it is hard for me to tell where you went wrong. Did you soak your macadamia nuts overnight?

    Hi Susan,
    Just wanted to let you know we tried this recipe and put it into sliced cucumber bowls. SO yummy, it was a hit at our Easter dinner gathering! Thanks for sharing and being a part of our celebration…in a sense. 🙂

    What would be the best nut to substitute for the macadamias?

      I would check out some of the other nut cheeses. Every nut reacts differently so it would make sense to find a recipe made from another nut and use these spices instead.

    Wow, that looks absolutely divine, Susan. Love the simplicity of the recipe. As always, thanks for the raw inspiration.
