There is absolutely nothing like the decadent smooth and creamy taste of cream cheese. But, truth be told, we'd almost forgotten about it! For many of us, whether it's the dairy or the not so natural ingredients that sneak their way into the mix, this spread is absolutely off limits - not to mention a little too caloric. This drool-worthy recipe for fruity, vegan cream cheese from blogger Heather Cox of Eat Real Food NYC is a game-changer! Not only is her cream cheese dairy-free, it's made from absolutely pure and natural ingredients that add to the full flavor of this delicious spread. Filled with warming ginger, cinnamon, unrefined coconut sugar, juicy pears and even a dash of black pepper, we may give our avocado the month off and spread this on our toast instead... I first tried pear cream cheese at a bagel store in the Hamptons and I was hooked! And then I found out what was in it. So I decided to try making my own healthy version and it turned out to be super easy. You can play around with this recipe and add whatever fruit or spice you like: apples or pears in the winter and perhaps apricots or peaches in the summer. Either way, the tofu base makes it super creamy and oh so delicious! About the coconut sugar: You may need to add more than 3 to 4 tablespoons - depending how sweet you like it. Personally I think the pears are sweet enough, but everyone is different.
