I always wanted to try this homemade cheese spread after I made these cream cheese sandwiches. I have added loads of veggies to make this homemade cream cheese colorful and very nutritious too.
This cream cheese sandwich spread was a super hit at home. So creamy, flavorful and rich with subtle flavor of herbs, this spread lasted only for 2 days, but you can store this refrigerator easily for 2 weeks.
Apart from using as sandwich spread I also made a dosa with this cheese spread and grated cheese.
To make this recipe vegan just use any soft vegan cheese or even silken tofu.
