Notes

- For best results, ensure your vegan cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending.
- If the texture is too thick after refrigeration, simply re-blend with a tiny splash of water or plant milk to restore creaminess.
- Adjust the tanginess by adding more lemon juice or a hint of apple cider vinegar, if desired. Start small and taste as you go.
