COCONUT MILK CREAM CHEESE {VEGAN & NUT-FREE}

Being dairy-free is almost like cutting out a whole part of my life. There’s just so much I feel like I don’t get to enjoy. Like my mother-in-law’s homemade lasagna or my own fried chicken. I really miss those. But one thing I’m so super-excited I don’t have to miss-out on anymore…cream cheese. And all the wonderful beagles, english muffins and banana bread I want…all because of this awesome dairy-free and nut-free recipe for Coconut Milk Cream Cheese. So amazing. Love it.

The best part about this recipe is that I can share it with my daughters. I think that’s the worst part of the whole dairy-free thing, really and truly, that I passed it on to my kids and they can’t have Mimi’s lasagna or Yaya’s cheesecake. Makes me really sad for them. That’s why I’ve gone to all these lengths to make these alternative recipes, honestly. If it was just me, I’d probably just avoid dairy and eat it when I was a guest at someone’s house–its what I did all my life until I had these babies. Now, it just seems cruel to eat ice cream in front of them…heh.
