    Creamy Sheese is an Award Winning Dairy-Free Alternative to Cream Cheese

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on December 28, 2019 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews

    We recently had the good fortune to trial several varieties of Creamy Sheese dairy free cheese alternative. The Original is similar to a spreadable classic cream cheese, but they offer quite a few savory flavors, too. We have the details below, and some tasting notes. But we welcome you to leave your rating and review below too!

    Creamy Sheese is an Award Winning Dairy-Free Alternative to Cream Cheese

    There are six varieties and I had the opportunity to taste two, the Original and Garlic & Herb. Plus, Hannah additionally taste-tested the Chives and Cheddar-Style flavors.

    Original

    Packaged in a really cool tub, the Original truly looked like cream cheese. The color was a fair and attractive white, and the image was one of a thick and creamy spread. At first, I was concerned when my knife met with some resistance, but the density quickly gave way to spread with ease atop my crackers.

    As for the taste, the Original Creamy Sheese was very cream cheese like. It somehow leaned a bit toward a more cheesy spread though. I grabbed a tub of Tofutti for a little comparison. The two were similar, yet distinctly different. The Tofutti was just a bit sweeter and did seem to lean more toward authentic cream cheese. However, the Creamy Sheese fit the “cheese” bill just a bit better, making it a product I might draw upon as a general spread.

    Back to the general testing of its cream cheesability, I decided to use this Creamy Sheese to make a cream cheese frosting for some spice cupcakes. It was delicious, and realistically, I couldn’t detect a difference between this frosting, and the prior Tofutti based one I had made.

    Overall, I do think the Original Creamy Sheese would be an easy one to slide by unassuming dairy consumers.  It had a very smooth texture with no funny aftertaste.  I wonder how it would work in “cheesecake?”

    Nutrition (per 100 grams): 286 calories, 28g fat, 1.3g carbs, 2.2g fiber, 1.1g sugars, 6g protein.*

    Garlic and Herb

    As I popped open the package of Garlic & Herb I was met with a rather unappetizing cement-like color.  While I applaud the Sheese people for not relying upon artificial colors and enhancers for visual appeal, I could see this less than attractive color being a problem for many.

    Luckily, the taste did not mirror the look.  A sophisticated blend of garlic and herbs seemed to be matched in perfect proportion.  A zesty cream cheese tang burst through, but mellowed into the overall flavor which wasn’t too potently garlic.  I really liked this spread atop a bagel and crackers.

    Chives

    If you’re concerned about enjoying this one with company, have no fear! The onion-y flavor is really quite mild. It’s pleasant for cucumber tea sandwiches or as a party dip.

    Cheddar-Style

    Unlike many day-glow orange “cheddars,” this one is a more organic shade of tan instead. It smells like cheddar but doesn’t quite nail the flavor.

    Solid cream cheese alternative

    Rated 4 out of 5
    December 29, 2019

    We had mixed feelings about the various flavors, but overall, this is a strong contender for substituting dairy-free cream cheese. It works quite well in recipes, and has fairly pleasant flavor.

      I have stomach issues with “real” cheese. My grocery store – Publix – only carries one non-dairy cheese, “Follow Your Heart” – Yuck!!!! They used to have GoVeggie which was pretty good.

      How can I find a better cheese substitute since Publix doesn’t carry one?

      • Alisa Fleming on February 1, 2017 7:40 am

        Is it the regular “Follow Your Heart” or Follow Your Heart’s “Vegan Gourmet” line? Since they already carry that brand, you may want to ask for the other Follow Your Heart ones. You can also request that they bring in other brands (be specific) and you can buy some brands online.
