The speaker shares a recipe for making oat cream cheese, a vegan alternative to traditional cream cheese. The recipe involves soaking oats in water, blending them with water, and then straining the mixture to create an oat milk cream. The cream is then blended with salt, lemon juice, and garlic, and heated to create a curd-like consistency. After cooling, the curd is blended again to achieve a smooth, creamy texture. The speaker provides tips for customizing the flavor and texture of the cream cheese, including adding nutritional yeast to give it a cheesy taste. The final product can be used as a spread or as a topping for pizzas.
