    Best sweet vegan cream cheese: Daiya Strawberry Cream Cheeze

    Best savory vegan cream cheese: Violife Just Like Cream Cheese – With Chives

    Cream cheese is a delicious spread that can be used in a variety of ways! You can spread it on bagels, in sandwiches, and on crackers. Or use it as a veggie and chip dip. You can use vegan cream cheese in all of these ways!

    Baking recipes also sometimes call for cream cheese and many vegan cream cheese products on this list can be used for that purpose too!
