...if you make your own almond milk...you're going to have some leftover almond meal...
...sometimes I add this like extra flour to cookies or other savory dishes...
...but recently I've been making vegan cream cheese with all my leftover almond meal...
...after making a quart of almond milk...I usually have about a half a cup of almond meal leftover...
...so I just dump it off the cloth into a bowl...usually the same bowl I just drained the milk into...
...then I add a little bit of lemon juice...cider vinegar...and salt...
...that's it...
...mix it up...
...and store it in a resealable container...
...y'all know how much I love everything bagels...and this is the perfect spread for them...
...I'd say the texture is a little bit more like goat cheese...
...but it's really delicious...
...I even served it on crackers with a little bit of chopped chives sprinkled on top...it was delicious that way too...
...and I love that nothing is wasted...
Leftover Almond Meal Cream Cheese
1/3 cup almond meal...That's about what's leftover from making almond milk...sometimes I save it up until I have a cup...I just keep it in the freezer...
Almond milk or water a few spoonfuls to get the consistency right...
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice.
Mix well...
~Have a lovely weekend!
Cool how that works out. Looks yummy! Love, K
ReplyDeleteWell done! Like you, love it when nothing is wasted but with two hounds in the house, that's pretty much all the time.
ReplyDeleteOh nice!
ReplyDeleteIt looks good!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Some day, when I don't work 60 hour weeks, I'd like to make my own almond milk
ReplyDeleteWe don't make our own almond milk, but we have made almond "cheeses" from almond flour. Now you've planted a seed. I like efficiency, you know, a nice two-for-one. It seems like I could get the cheese I already love AND some milk, too. Hmmmm....you've got me thinking!
