Almond cream cheese?! Say what?! This easy, 6 ingredient vegan spread is naturally dairy and gluten-free, so all can enjoy its creamy goodness. The almonds have to soak for about 8 hours and the cheese has to strain for about 8 hours, but it doesn’t take too much of your actual time to make. And trust me, all that soaking and straining is worth the wait!
