This cream “cheese” is tasty and nutty with a touch of sweet from the pine nuts. You can use it as an ingredient in another recipe, on wraps or a simple cracker. It doesn’t taste like a regular cream cheese so it can also be used for canapes in dinner parties. It lasts for one week in the fridge. Mouth watering good, you will certainly impress all your friends with this beauty!

- 1 cup pine nuts
- 1/2 cup cashew nut
