Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams cooked jackfruit
- 240 grams vegan cream cheese
- 120 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 120 milliliters buffalo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit. Pat it dry with paper towels, and then use your hands or a fork to shred the jackfruit into a large bowl.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded jackfruit, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jackfruit is slightly browned and fragrant.
While the jackfruit is cooking, in another bowl, mix vegan cream cheese, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and buffalo sauce until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked jackfruit to the creamy sauce mixture and stir until the jackfruit is fully coated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated through and the top is slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve warm with your choice of dippers, such as celery sticks, carrot sticks, or tortilla chips.
