The sweet, tangy flavor of the cranberry sauce balances the richness of the cheese and adds holiday flare. It, too, is incredibly simple to make requiring just a casual-cool toss of ingredients into a pan, 15-20 minutes of simmering and the occasional stir, and a swift transfer into a cutesy mason jar. If the spiced cranberry sauce is giving you déjà vu, it's probably because you saw it in this recipe just last week.

The cheese in the photos was baked for the full 2 hours, so it's on the firmer side, yet still spreadable. Then, you'll bake the cheese at a low temperature for anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on how firm you want it to be. Seriously! It's as simple as adding a short list of ingredients to your food processor, processing for a few minutes, and turning the cheese out into a baking dish. Soaking and baking time aside, this cheese is super simple to prepare. The result is a tangy, spreadable or even slice-able (if you bake it long enough), creamy cheese that will make you feel all fancy at your holiday parties.

From stretchy to creamy to spreadable to melt-able, non-dairy cheese delivers. Like the possibility reality that vegan cheese is delicious and so, well, cheese-like. My oh my, how time changes us and opens our minds to new possibilities. This baked vegan "goat cheese" with spiced cranberry spread is essentially this recipe all dressed up in a fancy holiday outfit.ĭuring my vegetarian days, whenever someone would ask me if I'd considered going vegan, I'd quickly retort that I could never be vegan because I loved cheese too much.
