I just adore homemade nut cheese. This creamy, spreadable snack is easy to make and only takes a few basic ingredients. The nutritional benefits are huge and make it worth every scrumptious bite you eat.
There are so many wonderful ways to enjoy nut cheese. Spread it on your favorite cracker, enjoy it as a dip for vegetables, butter your toast, toss some in your smoothie for extra protein, or serve it with olives, bread, and a glass of wine for a lovely appetizer. Whip up a batch of nut cheese today and prepare for something good!

- Transfer mixture to a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate. Use within a week.
- You can also add in your favorite chopped herbs to alter the flavor to your liking.
- Cashew Cheese will thicken a bit overnight.
