    Miyoko’s Cashewmilk Cream Cheese is Now in 5 Organic, Vegan Flavors

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 26, 2023 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    With only five ingredients, Miyoko’s Cashewmilk Cream Cheese is the closest thing we’ve found to homemade dairy-free and vegan cream cheese. But unlike most recipes that use acidic ingredients to add tang, Miyoko’s Creamery cultures their cream cheese alternative for a more authentic flavor. And over the years, they’ve whipped up some new flavors, including Scallion, Vegan Lox, Everything, and now, Cinnamon Raisin.

    Miyoko’s Cashewmilk Cream Cheese is Now in 5 Organic, Vegan Flavors

    All of Miyoko’s products are palm oil-free, but this line up is also completely oil-free. The creamy consistency comes from a paleo-friendly blend of cashews and coconut cream. We’ve got some notes on each flavor, but tell us what you think about this product too! Leave your review and rating below.

    Plainly Classic

    This is meant to be the most versatile variety, for spreading on bagels, whipping into frosting, and creating “classic” dairy-free cheesecakes. But it is a little coconut-forward and sour in flavor, and might not work perfectly for every cream cheese need. Nonetheless, it’s thick, rich, and will provide a nice consistency whether served cold or baked.

    Nutrition (per 1-ounce serving): 90 calories, 7g fat, 115mg sodium, 4g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars (0g added sugar), 3g protein.*

    Savory Scallion

    Green onions and a dash of white pepper give this thick spread a savory flavor that is great on bagels, appetizers, or in recipes. It will even melt nicely into sauces.

    Fish-Free Lox

    Seaweed and spice give this schmear a seafood vibe. I’ve heard rave reviews from both vegans and non-vegans on the flavor, which is best for bagels and appetizers.

    Everything

    In this case, “everything” means a mix of  poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic, and onion. It’s great for toast, bagels, or whipping to create a pretzel or chip dip.

    Cinnamon Raisin

    This is Miyoko’s first foray into a sweetened cream cheese. It contains just a dash of organic sugar, but is also sweetened with raisins for a great breakfast or snack spread. Try it on celery sticks!

    Like others said, this is inedible. I guess the texture is a lot like cream cheese, but who really cares when the flavor is completely revolting?

    Too coconut forward/ like texture

    Texture is nicely thick and smooth at room temp.

    Flavor is too “coconut-ty” and a little too lemony (?) tart for my taste.

    As of January 2023, the recipe is still not good.

    Surprised to see the reviews for this product go back several years with every person saying the same thing: This cream cheese is incredibly sour and I’m throwing it away. You’d think Miyoko’s Inc. would take note and either cancel the product outright or reformulate the recipe. Given the many examples of excellent plantbased cream cheese in the market, there’s absolutely no reason to ever buy this subpar product.

    This was so unexpectedly sour and tart that I actually thought it had soured and spoiled. I have tried many vegan “cream cheese” brands and this one is the only one I wouldn’t eat. I usually like Miyoko’s products too, I was very surprised.

    I love this stuff and eat it on toast for breakfast most days. Totally bewildered by the low ratings!! I usually get the plain – not sure if I’ve tried the scallion before. I usually get nut-free stuff for baking, so I’m not sure how it works in recipes.

    This is not even close to cream cheese. Spend or Pass? I say pass, they need to work on the recipe.

    This was my first try of vegan cream cheese. I was not expecting it to be sour! Very sharp tang that overpowers everything and sticks around. Highly unpleasant, I actually thought I got one that’s spoiled. Wish I researched before buying!

    Kinda gross actually. About the quickest way to ruin a bagel. There are waaaaay better options out there. Did they even taste this product before they sold it? Totally missed the mark.
