I learnt to make a better version of cream cheese from a friend in Goa. This recipe needs just five simple plant-based ingredients. Trust me, it’s finger-licking good when served in or with your favorite snacks.
Here you go!

Ingredients:

  1. Half cup of cashews
  2. 1 big yellow/red bell pepper
  3. 2 tsp lemon juice
  4. Salt as per your taste
  5. Pepper powder as per your taste

Preparation:
Soak the cashews overnight or for 4-5 hours.

Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a blender. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and lemon juice accordingly.
You can use this as a dip or as a spread. You can store it for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
