Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Due to the cream cheese, this is not strictly Paleo, but is OK as an occasional indulgence. For a "cleaner" version of cream cheese: strain high-quality yogurt through cheese cloth (several layers) overnight in the fridge. It's still not 100% Paleo, but is healthier than the processed cream cheese with lots of additives. There is also a recipe in this cookbook for Cashew Sour Cream/Cream Cheese that might work (haven't tried it).
