Thanks for the recipe Wickid, not sure will be able to eat it over Christmas with all the choc, cake and mince pies about but certainly a recipe for next year! :oD

where can I buy vegan cream cheese?

I think almost all health food shops sell it. Happy cooking!

All you vegans/veggies - did you stop eating meat and animal products over a period of time or was it an instant decision? Were any of you brought up vegetarian? Any 'opposition' from your families? I guess it's easier when you're not living at home...

i was brought up veggie. My mum went veggie when she was about 13. I was taught that eating meat is wrong and I truely believe that.

It's actually against my religion to eat meat (hindiusm-although many still eat meat and only avoid beef). However I grew up eating meat (again no beef) and stopped when I was 13 (encouraged by mum but not forced). I made the decision as I no longer felt comfortable eating animal parts as well as religious reasons.

However I could never become vegan, milk is a big part of my religion hence why the cow is sacred to us (you can go to jail for running over a cow in india - they have full reign of the road :-) )

Thanks I shall look forward to making it too!

Has anyone actually made this yet?

I`m sure everyone on this site made it! Apart from me ...

I wanted to make it for my Quebecois friends over Christmas, but they dont seem to sell vegan cream cheese here, but will soon be going home to vegan-friendly Britain though

I once made non vegan cheese cake and I couldn't eat it coz having made it myself I really associated it with cheese and it made me feel ill. So I will never attempt a cheese cake again vegan or otherwise!

Do you think it would taste nice with bananas instead of choc? I'm not supposed to be eating choc :(

Yeah, or maybe lemon

Mmmmmmm....lemon cheesecake
