Macadamia nuts are used to substitute for creams in a number of raw food recipes, so they are clearly the go-to nut for a cream cheese stand in.
This recipe is of mid-level complexity. There are some that use only Macadamia nuts with water while others blend together different nuts and seasoning. This seemed like a good, basic place to start and results in a cheese that can be used in a million different ways. Can't wait to start using this in some new recipes as soon as possible!

Just a reminder to keep away from dogs, as macadamia nuts are very toxic to them.
