Ingredients needed
- Almond milk- unsweetened organic almond milk or any other plant based milk such as cashew or coconut milk.

- Cream cheese- I love this brand of dairy free cream cheese , but you can substitute with regular cream cheese if you don't need it to be vegan.
- Tapioca flour- can substitute with organic corn starch.
- Vegan butter- this is the vegan butter that I used. Regular butter can be used in place of it.
- Garlic- two cloves minced.
