What dairy-free cream cheese should I use to make these egg bites?
I tried maaany attempts to create a dairy free version without using a dairy free substitute for cream cheese and I was unsuccessful. So I tried with 2 different dairy free cream cheeses and they were great!

Let’s make some Dairy Free Egg Bites!
Instant Pot Instructions for Egg Bites
To begin, add eggs and dairy free cream cheese to a high speed blender or food processor. If you are using the violife cream cheese you will also want to add 1 tsp of salt.
Blend until fully combined and smooth. Check and be sure that all of the dairy-free cream cheese has been blended in.
Chop your mix ins and distribute evenly into each cup of a silicone mold. Pour egg batter into the silicone molds as well.
Pour 1 cup of water into the instant pot. Lower the silicone mold into the instant pot on a trivet. Close the valve to sealing and set the instant pot to the steam-setting for 10 minutes.
When the 10 minutes are up, manually release the pressure and open the instant pot. Allow the egg bites to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from each mold.
Stove Top Instructions for Egg Bites
To make the dairy free Starbucks egg bites on a stove top you will still need the silicone molds and a blender, but this time you will use a large stock pot or dutch oven to cook them.
To begin, add eggs and dairy free cream cheese to a high speed blender or food processor. If you are using the violife cream cheese you will also want to add 1 tsp of salt.
Blend until fully combined and smooth. Check and be sure that all of the dairy-free cream cheese has been blended in.
Pour 2 cups of water into the large soup pot and place the trivet that comes with the molds into the bottom of the pot. Place your mix-ins into each egg mold cup and pour batter on top. Carefully place the filled egg molds on top of the trivet.
Turn the heat on to high for about 3 minutes until the water boils. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Allow the egg bites to steam in the pot for 12 minutes.
Turn the heat off and remove the lid. Allow the egg bites to cool for at least 10 minutes. Remove the egg bites from the molds and enjoy!
How long will these egg bites keep in the fridge?
Once prepared, allow these egg bites to cool completely and pop out of the silicone mold. Then, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
How should I reheat these sous vide egg bites?
Reheat these Starbucks copycat egg bites in a microwave or in an air fryer. Cook them for 1 minute in a microwave or at 400F for 5 minutes in the air fryer.
