Wow. This stuff is the real deal: texture, appearance, taste, and slight inclination to melt. Violife’s Just Like Cream Cheese Original leaves almost nothing to be desired, besides maybe a larger tub. Creamy, smooth and spreadable, this has none of the grainy texture or watery formulas that other non-dairy cream cheeses often have. Mix in sriracha hot sauce or scallions and this easily becomes flavored cream cheese, although Violife also carries a garlic & herbs flavor, which I have yet to try, but would assume is just as great as the original.

Editor's Take

This non-dairy cream cheese is the real deal—in texture, appearance and taste. By that we mean it checks all the boxes: Creamy, smooth and super spreadable. It even slightly melts. This spread leaves almost nothing to be desired, besides maybe a larger tub.
