What ingredients do I need?
You only 5 key ingredients (plus seasoning) to make this feta dip:
- Garlic: use a whole garlic bulb, peel off the tough outer layer and then chop off the top so the bulbs are expose. Then rub with olive oil, salt and pepper and wrap in foil. Bake or air fry till super soft and sticky. You can use the rest of the garlic for adding into sauces, spreading on toast and more.
- Vegan feta cheese: there are quite a few vegan feta-style cheeses in the supermarkets in the UK which is great, so use your favourite. I like the Violife one and supermarkets often have their own brand, too.
- Vegan cream cheese: this is great for adding smoothness and a cooling flavour to the whipped cheese. I like the one from NUSH or again use the Violife or own-brand.
- Lemon juice: for tang.
- Olive oil: for roasting the garlic and for adding into the dip. For the dip, use the best quality olive oil you have as the better the flavour, the better the whip will taste.
- Salt, honey and chilli flakes: for flavour.
- Vegan honey: for serving on top. This sticky sweetness pairs perfectly with the rich, savoury cheesiness of the dip.
What’s on your sharing board?
This board is a delicious one for sharing with friends and is a mix of roasted edamame beans, peas and legumes from Natures Heart which come in three flavours: BBQ Crunch Snacks; Chilli and Lemon; and Sea Salt and Pepper. Then I’ve added some crackers, chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, sliced peppers and some blueberries (I love sweet and salty together).
How do I make this?
There are only two key steps to making this dip:
- Roast the garlic: trim the end so the bulbs are exposed, rub with oil, wrap in foil and bake or air fry till soft. Allow to cool then squeeze out the bulbs to use for the dip.
- Add all the ingredients into a blender: and process till really smooth.
- Serve in bowls topped with the vegan honey: or however you like.
How long will the whipped feta last?
You can keep this Vegan Garlic Whipped Feta in the fridge in a sealed container for 2-3 days.
How can I serve this?
This dip is great as part of a sharing board (information above) or you can:
- Spread it onto toast and top with some cucumber and avocado
- Thickly spread onto some Gluten-free Vegan Buckwheat Bread
- Stirred into pasta with some tomatoes and herbs
- As a sandwich filler with my Kale Pesto and Tofu Sandwiches

Is this feta vegan, nut-free and gluten-free?
Yes, this is fully vegan and gluten-free. To make sure it’s gluten-free, make sure your feta and cream cheese do not contain nuts.

Sounds nice. Just love garlic. I’m not keen on vegan cheese tho, too much unhealthy fat and never tastes like cheese. I shall use soft tofu and add a few herbs and nooch.
yes I love the garlic, and I have not tried this with tofu but let me know how it is!
