- Today I show you how to make your own nut free vegan cream cheese!
This is a quick and easy dairy free and nut free recipe and it will be done in under half an hour!
With a neutral flavor, this homemade plant based cream cheese can be turned into a sweet or savory flavor of your choice.
If going sweet try adding sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, lemon juice etc... or try savory combinations such as herb, garlic, chives, pepper, chili and so on. The options are endless :-)
It is a great vegan cream cheese spread that can be used on crackers, sandwiches, frosting and more!

I have lost over 50 pounds and reversed heart issues. A plant based lifestyle has totally changed my life and brought back my health, energy and vitality! The journey all started when I watched the movie Forks Over Knives - to get your own copy of this life changing dvd, visit my affiliate page on Amazon if interested at amzn.to/1MgHoDy And I also read The China Study: amzn.to/1MgHsDt - Навчання та стиль
this is actually the first most affordable and easy to find vegan recipes i have ever seen. Just. Thank you.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate your recipes because they cover basic substitutions for things that really make up people's everyday diets and THAT makes a difference. It makes it possible to stay on the low fat vegan path, and everything that I have made from your videos has been wonderful so far! Thank you so much!
Farmword Thank you :-)
Anja, please apart from Chickpeas and Soy beans what else can be used to make Tofu?
OLA VINCENT I'm not vegan, but have made vegan "white meat" from white northern beans, some spices, and dried onions. I did a video on it (my sister is going vegan so iv been making vegan recipes for her)
That's cute. You're not a vegan you say. I kind of got that when your name is Alexis'Fishin', Huntin'and Farming Show. Got to laugh out loud. Good for you for making some meals for your sister. Cheers.
Thanks
CreamCheese turned out great. I used oatmilk and apple cider vinegar...i am so looking forward to flavouring it now. I absolutely love bagels and have been trying to make a vegan cream cheese a while now. Thank you so much😊
I remember subscribing to your channel sometime around spring/summer last year Anja and thinking, "What dedication to her videos and recipes! why doesn't she have more subscribers?!". You were approaching 2000...
Now you're over 14,000! Sincere congratulations. You deserve it :).
Oilcurls Thank you so much... and thanks for your support so early on :-) x
Hitting 200K in 2020. Congratulations!
I just wanted to let you know how much I really appreciate your different alternative recipes!! I'm allergic to yeast, wheat, dairy, corn, cashews and a whole lot more. My alternatives need alternatives when cooking lol. Your recipes actually made it possible to have cheese!! Thank you.
omg thank u so so much i have been searching for a nut free and dairy free recepie
+Jesica Kumar Glad you like it.
I love your recepies. They are made with basic ingredients. Very clean and healthy. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you... glad you like them.
You are wonderful. First time I made was a little thick but tasted great. 2nd time it less thick, looks like the real thing. And tasted so good on bagel
I haven't really tried any yet, but I love your recipes! I'm gonna make this one for sure, I just love how simple and customizable it is! :) Thank you!
+Aryane Héroux-Blais Glad you like it :-)
I found that pouring in the agar agar in the mixture without mixing it with hot water works much beter. With the hot water it becomes a clump.
Amazing! Wonderful to see an oil free recipe for vegan cream cheese! Thank you.
Never heard of agar agar till started watching your videos. Now I feel its something I need in my life! Thank you!
Lol... yes, give it a try.
wow - how cool are you for making this for us! Best vegan channel on UA-cam. :)
saidtheredhead8 Thank you :-)
Excellent! Can't wait to make this and thanks for posting.
Enjoy :-)
So simple! Can't wait to try this! Love ya,girl!
+Karla Robinett Enjoy :-)
Looks really good. Gotta try it! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you enjoy
Wow, that would be nice as a replacer for the ricotta cheese for Tiramisu..... yummy! Gotta try that out, thanks, Anja!
Carmen Fahlmann Let me know how you go :-)
You are incredible! Fantastic recipe. I have to try this one too.
Carbin Marvin Glad you like it :-)
That looks so easy, I can't wait to try it
Looks really nice, gonna try this right now if I find some agar agar!
Nice! This could also be used with pasta in place of ricotta cheese, or just eaten by itself, yum, and it's so simple.
***** Absolutely!!!!
Thanks for creating this recipe. Nice to find a dairy free, and nut free recipe. Now I hope I can make it taste good with no salt.
small footprint I went salt free for awhile and often added a little ground ginger instead of salt but Im not sure itll work in this. Maybe if its just a little. Rosemary can be good in cream cheese dip type things too.
Great, i'm gonna try this! Thanks for sharing 👍😉
Warriorprincessdie Awesome :-)
Thank you. I will try this. I just went vegan 2 months ago and miss my cheese. Grew up in an Italian neighborhood,
Hope you enjoy other alternative
Great recipe. Can this be used for vegan cheesecake? What's the texture like? Is it kinda like the texture of jellow or more creamy?
That is so awesome!! 👌 👏
I'm trying that one for sure.
Ginger C Excellent :-)
Hi ! I'm from Hungary and I really liked your recipe , i'm gonna try :) I'm so happy that i found your channel as i can't consume any dairy products due to my allergy.:/ So thanks :D
+Szlvia Palla Enjoy!
Hi Szilvia :) Do you know where we can get agar in Hungary?
Thanks for the great recipe . I'm new to Vegan food , so how long will this cream cheese last or should it be used right a way ?
Good to know about agar agar powder as a vegan alternative to gelatin :)
My Easily Amused Kitchen :-)
You're absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much! Have you tried making a cheesecake using this cream cheese?
Jay Acevedo Thanks. No I haven't made cheesecake with it.
Your awesome. I like how you present your recipe by stating your ingredients; how much to use; possible substitutes ( very important as your audience is worldwide.
The video is easy to follow without getting seasick. You also speak clearly. You are also well groomed and your pretty.
hi. thank you for always nice recipies ! from a german fan of you :-)
+Birgit Heiser Bitteschoen :-)
Thank you! 😊 That's exactly what needed! 👍
Wow great idea, thank you 😊❤️
Most people I know use tons of processed parmesan and dairy cheese. This is perfect substitute.
Thank you :-)
Thanks so much! Can I bake with this vegan cream cheese?
Mine firmed up too much, so it turned grainy instead of creamy. But it **still** tastes light years better than anything store bought (*cough* daiya *cough*). I'll try again this week will a little less agar and see if that works.
Anwelei Thanks for your feedback... less should work fine :-)
Definitely the agar. I would use less than 1/2 teaspoon with two cups plant milk. Agar is really strong
Brilliant thanks. If you were going to add nutritional yeast, would you add it at the beginning when you were heating it in the pan, or later when it came out of the fridge. I can't wait to try this, thanks so much.
beanfeast57 I would add it at the start, but you can do either :-)
fantastic, I'm going to make this today! I love the magical powers of agar agar :D may I ask why you add the seasonings (lemon, salt etc.) after the first setting time in the fridge, and not right away? thank youuuu
francesca Ⓥ di leandro I like to add the seasonings at the end so they stay fresh and flavorsome. The lemon also helps to smooth out the texture of the "cheese" :-)
I tried to make this, I made a mistake and used 2 tablespoons of agar power. I had to put into a food processor and add another tablespoon of plant milk. I ended up making ricotta cheese 😂🤣😆
It’s so freaking good lol
this would go great in a cheese danish
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
Now you have to make us a vegan bagel recipe!!! :) :) :)
+vale comer Most bagels are vegan.
Hello, would you wait until the mixture cools down before placing it in the refrigerator to solidify or do you place it in the refrigerator directly off the stove?
Great recipe!
HealthyVoyagerTV Thank you :-)
I'm going to give this a blast. Thank❤you.
Anja, You are a True Blessing! I am Allergic to Anything Of Soy. I Don't mind having to use Almond or Rice Milk in order to Make Your Better and Healthier Version of Cream Cheese. I am also wondering would your Cream Cheese, work well for Cheese Cake and Cheese Balls for Entering Guests?
thank you , does the lemon you added changes the texture of the cream or is it only for flavouring ?
Wow! This is really great! Thank you so much :-)
***** Glad you like it :-)
Hello can I use cornstarch instead of gargar powder? Can I used this cream cheese for milk tea topping?
Anja once again thank you so much for the lovely recipe. I made mine with garlic, dill and black peppercorns.
One question: I have read your comment at a different video of yours when you said to a user that you do not count calories as long as there is no nuts or oil in a recipe, and that you lost 50 pounds eating as much as you like.
I am on a weight loss process at the moment and since I started eating vegan I must say I feel really satisfied a lot easier. I would really appreciate if you let me know any specific foods you avoid and in general when consuming nuts or oil how much of them do you eat? And which vegan foods you think should be portion controled? Thanks so much again!
+Crisalsera Glad you like the recipe. The only thing I avoid is added oils. Other than that maybe keep a log of what you eat and what feels right for you.
Love all your recipes they are so well explained, thank you! Just a question to everyone, I am not sue if I can have agar agar as I am allergic to seaweed is there an alternative or is it not really like seaweed? (not expecting many reply's but I might as well ask) :D
Jessica Morris Try using pectin. I haven't tried it but it should work. Not sure if it will be as firm. :_)
Thank you so much!!!
Essence of Me You're welcome :-)
Fantastic.
Thanks
I adore the intro music!!
I love your recipes ♥
+Rocío Suárez Galán Thank you :-)
Hi Anja, just wondering if you have any updates or new suggestions to this wonderful recipe? Thanks!
This was something I've had a super hard time giving up as well, thank you so much!! Do you have any ideas for how to make cottage cheese that is free of dairy, soy, oil, and nuts?
+Angelo Tiffany I will ass it to my to do list.
+CookingWithPlants Thanks!
Your taste tests are my favorite part! You seem to sincerely really Love the food and that is priceless! Hello from the West Coast of USA btw :)
I definitely love to eat :-)
@@cookingwithplants We should all eat to live not live to eat!
I’m looking for a vegan cottage cheese alternative for pierogie stuffing. Would this work?
Would you be able to use psyllium husk powder instead of agar agar? :)
Hi There. Love your videos. Where did you get that flat counter top burner? I'd love to have one of those.
at a local electrical goods store
Yum!
Thanks for sharing Anja! I have a question, would this be a substitute for cream cheese on recipes? Thank you!!
+Marcos Carrera It should work as a substitute.
Love your vids!
Hello! I absolutely love your recipes! Have you ever tried making vegan yogurt from coconut milk? If you haven't yet, can you try it and post a how-to video please? Thanks very much!
NuSeason4me I have made one with soy milk... you could try that recipe with coconut and see if it works.
I think I'll try this one as a alfredo sauce :D :D
Same process but wrap in cheesecloth and let it set in the fridge overnight. Another pitch of salt and sugar in the morning the remaining liquid will separate. Make an ice bath and rinse until solid. There you will have butter 🧈🤤
Can u use this for making cheesecake or dessert?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :)
Julien Vinluan You're welcome :-)
Dear Ania! Amazing recipe. Have you tried with coconut milk? I'd like to get a richer consistency and flavout for my tiramisu.
Just try it!
I wonder if it is possible to make cheesecake with this one? And it also would be great to see the recipie of a vegan cheesecake from you!!!
Анастасия Редина I haven't tried. Let me know if you give it a go :-) I will do a vegan cheesecake recipe soon x
YUM!
Awesome
love it
Thank you! I've been looking for a recipe like this :) Can't find it on your website though?
Charlotte Everett Glad you like it :-) It is now live on the website too!!
CookingWithPlants Yay! :)
Fantastic 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks. Glad you like it :-)
Thank you so much for sharing all your recipes ... I watch them all the time to educate myself with ideas to cook ... as my daughter eats only gluten free vegan diet and it is hard to think of things to make. I notice you don't use oil too in your food. Is oil not vegan? or is that for health reasons? Thankyou again... you are my favorite!!
+Kiranjit Khanijaon Oil is an unhealthy processed food full of unnecessary calories and virtually NO nutrition. It is basically a waste product left over after all the nutrients and fiber are processed out, a junk food industry knows we are fond of because it appeals to our instinctual need to load up on calories in nature. In this industrial age of processed food, we already have far too many! Avoid it when you can unless you are too skinny... and even then, it is robbing you of real nutrition! Eat whole foods like nuts or olives instead, they come with the nutrients!!!
I'm not vegan, but my sister is wanting to be. so iv been watching videos like this, so I can teach her how to cook vegan foods. I love my sis.
Do you know how much this yields? Is it equivalent to the 6 ounces you buy of the regular cream cheese?
Can I use a rice flour as a thickening agent? I live in a place that has no vegan stores or really any vegan culture. I must make due with what I have. TIA.
Looks so easy and delicious!!
How long can you store this for?
Yaya Banana About 5 days in the fridge :-)
Thank you, gotta try this out soon! :D
thanks for this lovely reciep can i use it to make cheesecake
I haven't tried.
You are amazing!!!
I think,I ha e got too used to NOOCH, and like a bit cheesy, now would I put a couple of tbsp in with the mix at the beginning? Or would you recommend blending a red pepper or something?
Yes, mix in at the beginning
Mama mia! Auf welche Ideen Du kommst... ;-) Wird aber garantiert bald ausprobiert. Ich glaube, ich gebe das Salz schon zu Beginn dazu, damit es sich gut auflöst und verteilt. Reismilch ist eigentlich eh schon ziemlich süß. Mal schau'n, ob man den Zucker nicht auch weglassen kann. Vielen Dank für die Idee!
Nature Heals Danke :-) Ja, man kann den Zucker weglassen :-)
CookingWithPlants du sprichst deutsch ? :o
Thea Wissen Ja :-) Nicht perfekt, aber es geht.
That's amazing! wow. Is adding nutritional yeast an option or does it ruin the texture?
Andy Vegan You can add it :-) Just add whatever you like :-)
Delicious!!! :)
can we use corn starch to thicken?
Two questions please. Can this be frozen to defrost for a later event? Can this be made with Almond milk if the consumers like it? Thankyou. Its so great that you have worked out how to make all these things. I have friends who are vegan & am eating more plant based stuff myself. Plants are so amazing!
I haven't tried. You would need to do a test run. Let me know how it goes if you do :-) So glad that you are eating more plants :-)
Hi, I read some of the comments and no one seems to ask, What does the agar agar do to the recipe? Does it give it a creamyness, or add nutrition to it?? I know nutritional yeast gives cheese a cheesy flavor and adds nutrition..... This video is old don’t know if you will answer me. Thank you for the video and your time.😎🙂👍🏾
Hi; Thanks you for sharing. I would like to know if I can use this recipe as a filling for cakes Would it melt if left at room temperature? Hope you can help me.
Thank you so much.
I haven't tried. You would need to experiment.
Hi: Yes I will. Im very curious :-)
Thank you very much.
@@ceroencomputer2325 Did it work?
I like how the texture looks like it could be similar to a Mexican-style queso fresco and the taste could be closer with a little extra salt. I'm just curious, have you (or anyone else reading this) tried this recipe with nutritional yeast? I'm thinking that with nutritional yeast and drying it out somehow (maybe a little time spread thin on a cookie sheet on low heat so it could be crumbled once it cooled) it could resemble queso cotija, a Mexican cheese similar to parmesan. It would just need that stronger, saltier taste.
+How to Faint Give it a try and let me know how it turns out :-) Sounds interesting x
Dehydrate it.
Anja could I use guar gum instead of agar agar
can you make it hard with the agar agar like your other cheeses you've made? and will it melt?
+Montezumas Princess You could make it harder... it would not melt.
Thanks for your recipe! Can I use this cheese for baking? like pizza?
+Nguyễn Hồng Kim Châu I haven't tried baking with it... you would need to test it :-)
😂😂 haha thanks. If I succeed I will tell you.
Is there anything I can substitute for the agar powder? It would be great to know..
I haven't found anything that works the same.
May I ask whats the material of the cabinets. Very nice kitchen, Edit: very nice apartment or house overall.
Yeah those cabinets are cutting edge and probably so easy to clean....I want!
I can’t have agar agar, Can I use something like tapioca starch?
