In reply to Caitlyn. Yes, Vitamix sells them on their Amazon store under 'renewed' or on their website under 'reconditioned'. I think the prices look better on their site. They are a bit pricier than when I bought it 12 years ago, though. Maybe they will have a black Friday sale. :)

In reply to Caitlyn. Hi Caitlyn, I'm so happy you love my recipes. Thank you! :) I have a refurbished Vitamix that I purchased on Amazon more than 12 years ago, and it still works perfectly. For me personally, it was worth the investment because I get so much use out of it. It's a powerhouse. It would be nice if they made a less expensive model. Maybe they will have some sales around the holidays. :)

Hi Melissa, Thanks for all your recipes! I've been enjoying them for many years. What blender do you have? I've been avoiding these nut cheese recipes forever, because I can't justify the cost of the vitamix, and of couse they turn out grainy without it. I keep hoping someone will make one a little cheaper but I haven't seen it yet. Might have to suck it up and get one.

In reply to Loretta Keane. Hi Loretta, yes, you can omit the onion powder. Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Hi there, I was wondering if this recipe works without the onion powder for non savory uses? Thank you!

In reply to Geri L Habstritt. Hi Geri, I haven't tried it yet, but I'm curious. I may need to give it a go soon. :)

Has anyone tried to culture this? It has yogurt and ACV in it already so you would only need to leave it sit out in a warm spot or put in the instant pot on yogurt setting and it would culture and offer the natural tangy cream cheese flavor.

Hi,
I‘d love to make this. I have bought 2 kgs organic almonds from Crowdfarmng and thought to blanch and chop some of those. Or does it have to be ready bought slivered ones?

In reply to Noel. Hi Noel, I'm sorry to hear about your family member. I hope they get well soon. I don't have a recipe for cream cheese glaze, but I have one for cream cheese frosting. It's not exactly shelf-stable though, but it can stay at room temp for 30-60 minutes. I have a recipe for a lemon glaze that will last longer out at room temp. You'll need 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Just whisk the powder sugar and lemon juice together until fully combined and smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake. I hope this helps some. Feel free to reach out with any other questions. :)
