Anyone got recs for faux cheese products?

I had to go dairy free last year and have discovered that I like the Nurishh cream cheese which can be found at Kroger.

I recently had Follow Your Heart cheese (pretty sure it was a mozzarella block) and liked it. It was as a cheese bread/pizza topping. Melted well, creamy cheese mouth feel, and either the seasoning or the cheese itself had a pleasant taste. Primary ingredients are palm fruit oil and potato starch.

Nice! The ingredients are me-friendly, too:

Dairy-Free Mozzarella Blocks: Filtered Water, Coconut Oil, Modified Potato and Corn Starches, Potato Starch, Sea Salt, Natural Flavor, Olive Extract, Beta Carotene for Color.

They also have a cream cheese!

Here's a GF recipe for carrot cupcakes goss just posted. It's dairy-free apart from the frosting, so if you made a simpler frosting just with confectioner's sugar, lemon juice and a little water they'd be fine.

Chicken with creamy cheese-like sauce

Here's a vid for a dairy-free Chicken Alfredo-like dish. https://youtu.be/3iUyRYuYiIk. The key is using coconut milk. Another vid I saw recommended adding some nutritional yeast for a umami cheeselike taste. GF noodles, of course.
