🤔 What is Vegan Whipped Feta?

It is a plant-based alternative to traditional feta cheese which contains sheep's milk. Our recipe uses store-bought vegan feta, but vegan feta can also be made from scratch. In this case, tofu, cashews, or almonds are typically used. To flavor it use lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.

Use a blender or mixer to whip it creamy. The result is a creamy, tangy spread that's perfect for snacking or adding to your favorite dishes.

👩🏽‍🍳 How to Make Whipped Feta

Start by simply blending all of the ingredients together in a food processor or high-speed blender until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, whip it with an electric mixer using the whisk attachment. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Once your feta is creamy and fluffy and tastes as you desire store it in an air-tight container in the fridge or enjoy immediately.

• As a dip for veggies and crackers
