Serving ideas:

Dollop this atop everything? Yes. I've enjoyed this with a hearty chili, tomato soup, & vegan borscht. 

1) Blend all of the ingredients together, scraping down the sides of your blender as necessary, until the mixture becomes as smooth as possible. *Depending on the power of your blender, this process can take 10-15 minutes or more. 

2) Scrape out the mixture into a a container or bowl, and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. 

3) Serve and enjoy!
