(Wrong flavour, but you get the idea!)Though I am not a big fan of vegan cheese, I like the cheezely options and will sometimes use tofutti slices in a grilled cheese sandwich. I usually only like vegan cheese melted with other things (eg in toasted sandwiches, nachos and on pizza). The only one that I would consider eating alone is Cheezly Herb and Garlic. That's why I tried this option for the cream cheese.
What was it like? Good. Very good. Not exactly like cheese, but then no vegan cheese actually is. The non-cheese overtone is very mild and not bad. It was tasty and creamy on crackers. Everyone in the family ate it, including all the cheese eaters. M asked to have crackers and "cheese cream" for school lunches. She is ready this and says "It was very yummy!"
There was no way that we would finish a whole log in one go, so I cut it into chunks and froze it. It has defrosted beautifully, with no loss of flavour or texture.
While I wouldn't serve it unadorned to the sort of omni who talks about "fake food", it would be fine with other toppings. It would probably be fine for more open minded omnis.
I recommend this one!
Sounds good! I really liked flavoured cream cheeses in my pregan days, but now we're stuck to plain Tofutti so I have to improvise. This stuff sounds really yummy.
ReplyDeleteSounds good. I'll have to look out for it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Cheezly cream cheeses before! I shall keep an eye out for it next time I am there. Did you go to the Taringa one?
