Vegan Cheeseball/Spread




I make this every year around the holidays and every time I make it I wonder why I don't make it year-round. You will need:


2 tubs Tofutti Cream Cheese

Green Onions

Vegan Worcestershire Sauce

Nutritional Yeast Powder

Bac'Uns Baconless Bits

Garlic Salt

Onion Powder


Chop your green onions up really fine. I use almost all of one bunch. Put your cream cheese out into a large bowl and let it get a little soft, then stir in at least a tablespoon of nutritional yeast and mix. I basically just do all these ingredients to taste so there are no definate amounts. Add more nutritional yeast if if needs to be cheesier. Add garlic salt and onion powder to taste. Then, add worcestershire, you want it to flavor the cream cheese but NOT be runny, so add it slowly. Stir really well, then add fake bacon bits.


Depending on whether you want a spread or a cheeseball:


For a spread just put into a bowl and let sit overnight.


For a cheeseball, put in the fridge for about an hour, then take out and form a ball. You can roll it in nuts if you want, but I prefer it without. Then put cheeseball in fridge overnight so the flavor will set up.


Serve the next day with crackers. Delicious!
