INGREDIENT NOTES:

VEGAN CREAM CHEESE:

• This is the core product that we use for making this vegan dessert. It creates the creamy consistency of the dessert. You may also use cashews (soaked & blended) or thick coconut yogurt for an alternative option.

POWDERED SUGAR:

• We use sugar to provide the sweet flavor in this vegan dessert. The powdered version is useful for mixing easily in the dessert mixture. This way, the dessert will become smoother. For the substitution idea, use coconut sugar in powder form.

COCONUT CREAM:

• When we include coconut cream in the dessert mix, it makes it rich. Also, it helps in making a proper shape of the dessert when we refrigerate it. Other than this, you can use any thick vegan whipped cream. Using cashew cream is also fine.

LEMON JUICE:

• Lemon juice includes tanginess to the dessert. It can also maintain the extra-sweet flavor in the dessert. You can also utilize lime juice.

SALT:

• This can improve the sweet taste in the vegan dessert.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

• Including vanilla extract will provide the taste and aroma of the bakery desserts. For an alternative option, use vanilla powder.

1. First, you will need to include vegan cream cheese into a bowl.
2. Then start whisking it to make it smooth enough.
3. Include powdered sugar and completely mix both of them.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

• After you make this dessert, try topping it with fruits or crushed biscuits. This will make your dessert look more fancy.

• You can also consider the addition of fruit jam over the dessert for extra flavor.
• To serve them even fancier, pour the dessert into small jars.

TIPS:
