Cream Cheese Vegan Frosting

15 min

Thanks to the wonderful invention of dairy-free cream cheese, this old favorite is possible. While many vegan hard "cheeses" fail the palatable test, soft "cheeses" fair much better. Brands such as Tofutti and Sheese (there are a few others I believe) "cream cheese" are remarkably similar to the "real thing." So grab a tub and enjoy this dessert topper. Thanks to the Vegan Chef for this great recipe!
