Raw "Pumpkin" Cream Cheese

I'm yet to perfect a grain free bagel recipe to the ideal chewiness to softness ratio. But as warmer weather makes sunflower seed butter too heavy for breakfast bread, this raw "pumpkin" cream cheese recipe was easy to get right on the first try. Thanks to inspiration from The Spunky Coconuts's Apricot Cheese Danish Cake Recipe.
