Instructions

Mix & Whip the cream cheese and vegan butter with a spoon, until well mixed and slightly fluffy. Add sugar and whip again.
Add the 1/2 cup almond flour, coconut flour, cardamom, salt and mix well. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken before adding more almond flour. You want it to be just about stiff. Taste and adjust sweetness and cardamom. At this point try to not eat all of it.
Chill for 5-10 mins, then spread the mixture on parchment. Using another parchment paper on top, even it out and make into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
Chill again for 15 mins, slice and separate slices a bit. Press chopped pistachios on the slices.
Bake at 275 degrees F for 8 to 10 mins. Let cool, then chill for another hour before serving. Store refrigerated for upto 3 days.

Notes

Almond Cream Cheese: Soak 3/4 cup almonds overnight. Peel and blend with a dash of salt, 1/8 tsp probiotic powder. Blend with just a bit of water in a high speed blender until creamy. Wrap in double cheesecloth and let it sit to drain on the counter for a few hours. The cheese should just about start to ferment. Measure and use.
Storage: refrigerate in a closed container for upto 3 days. these are best the first 2 days. After that the cream cheese flavor starts to get stronger.
