Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in a bowl with enough water to cover them. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Add lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and coconut cream to the blender or food processor.
Step 4
Process on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. This should take about 3-5 minutes depending on your appliance.

Add nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt to the cashew mixture. Blend again until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you want a hint of herbal flavor, blend in the dill.
Step 7
Once the dairy-free cream cheese is ready, transfer it into a small bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to thicken.
Step 8
Toast the bagels to your desired crispness while the cream cheese chills.
Step 9
Once the bagels are toasted, generously spread the dairy-free cream cheese on each side.
