Garlic And Chive Vegan Cream Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews, soaked beforehand (longer the better! preferably overnight but 30 mins will do)
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (can be omitted)
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash black pepper
1 small garlic clove
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (and more for garnish)
1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Drain your soaked cashews and then blend them up with all of the ingredients bar the water.
Scrape down sides and add water.
Blend with a high-powered blender, scraping down sides as you go, until its smooth.
Scrape contents into a bowl/contained. Add the remaining chives on top and cover and refrigerate.
Can be eaten immediately but thickens up when in the fridge.
Can keep for probably up to 5-7 days but unlikely it will last that long!
