- Is Miyoko's Classic Plain the same as dairy cream cheese?
- No. It is a cultured cashew-milk spread, so it is dairy free and vegan. It is designed to mimic the tang and spread of cream cheese, but it is softer and not identical.
- Does it contain nuts?
- Yes. The base is cashew milk, so it is not suitable for anyone with a cashew or tree nut allergy.
- Can I bake with it?
- Yes. Miyoko's says it works as a one-to-one substitute in recipes that call for cream cheese, including frostings and cheesecake fillings.
- How should I store it?
- Keep it refrigerated. It spreads best when well chilled, and it should be used by the date on the tub once opened.
- How does it compare with other vegan cream cheeses?
- Most rivals rely on coconut oil or starches for body. Miyoko's uses a cultured cashew base with no added oils or gums, which gives a tangier flavor but a softer set.
