- 1/2 cup coconut cream (*)
- 1 g reen onion
- 2 -3 teaspoons ginger
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 medium carrot (shredded)

Steps
-
In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine cream cheese, coconut cream, onion, ginger, garlic, carrot, salt, Sriracha, lime zest, cilantro, and black pepper.
-
When it's all mixed together, spoon the mixture into the center of a large sheet of plastic wrap. Pull up the sides of the plastic and twist, or tie with a twist tie. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
-
Chop the Sriracha Almonds to the level of coarseness that you want them. Chop the cilantro. Spread the chopped nuts on a plate and add the cilantro, mixing it together a little.
-
Unwrap the cheese from the plastic. Place the cheese ball on the nuts and cilantro, and flip or roll it to coat the outside with nuts. At this point you can wrap it again to save for later, or serve immediately with crackers.
