I have been working at The Bagel Shop for a year now. I have made countless bagels with creamcheese in all flavors but haven't eaten any because, obviously they are not vegan. But that doesn't stop them from smelling good. Recently I have had the desire to eat one. A non vegan one, just because they smell so good. I haven't, I've resisted but I needed to create a replacement to fill the craving. So while at the market last week I bought the ingredients I needed to make my own Vegan Veggie Creamcheese. Honestly, while having Better Than Creamcheese is nice, it hardly tastes like what I remember the real thing to taste like.
I enjoyed this immensely and so i'm sharing the recipe with you.
Veggie CreamCheese
1 eight oz container Better Than CreamCheese
3 Radishes; quartered
1 medium/smallish carrot; cut into1 inch pieces
1 small scallion.; cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
In the food processor mince the carrot and the radishes. Then add the scallion pieces and process until everything is finely minced. Next add the cream cheese and the salt and process until combined.
Voila! I had mine on half a toasted tomato basil bagel and was in absolute heaven.

Funny. After years of eating Tofutti's Better Than Cream Cheese when I lived with a vegan, and then eating regular cream cheese for many years, I bought a tub of Tofutti's Better Than Cream Cheese the other day because the normal stuff was out, and I found that I missed the Better Than Cream Cheese.
I haven't eaten that much of it, because i just recently found it in a store near me. i'm still learning to like it. That and working around great smelling flavored creamcheeses makes me want to experiment.
I miss the "sourness" of dairy cream cheese. I find the Tofutti BTCC to be too sweet. Like you said, not how I remember the original to be.
sourness. that is it exactly. which is why i've taken to flavoring it. the veggie is my fave so far, but wouldn't you believe that my grocery store isn't stocking plain BTCC, they have flavored. i want to do it myself. argh.
One of my favorite simple lunches is a toasted poppyseed bagel, vegam cream cheese, a slice of ripe tomato, and loads of freshly ground black pepper.
Your Cream Cheese spread sounds delectable.
