Almond Cream Cheese
Phase 3
1/4 cup is a healthy far serving


2 cups blanched peeled almonds
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 to 1/3 cup spring water

Soak the almonds overnight in spring water that covers the almonds by 1-2 inches.

Drain the almonds and rinse under cold water

Add to blender or food processor along with oil, salt, lemon juice. Blend, adding water 2 tablespoons at a time to get to the consistency you want. Scrape down sides as needed.Taste and add more lemon juice or salt if needed.
Pour into a container with a tight lid. Cover and place in fridge overnight for best flavor. It will firm up a bit when chilled. 

If you want a firmer cheese that crumbles, place into a oiled baking dish and bake at 300F for 30 minutes. Cool then chill overnight.
