What is in vegan cream cheese?

Answer 1

Dairy cheese is is coagulated, acidified, pasteurized, aged milk from cows, sheep, buffalo, or other animals. The coagulant is often rennet, an enzyme from the stomachs of slaughtered animals, so technically, most cheese is not even vegetarian, let alone vegan.

Vegan cheese can be made with soy or pea protein, vegetable oil (such as coconut, palm, or safflower), nutritional yeast, agar, nuts (such as cashews, macadamias, or almonds), tapioca flour, natural enzymes, vegetable glycerin, bacterial cultures, and/or arrowroot.

Answer 2

Usually a combination of soya protein and oat derivatives blended with vegetable oils, a well known brand is Sheeze which you can find in most health food shops.

Its also possible to get Rice Cheese which uses Rice instead of soya :)
