Prep the Vegan Cheddar: Shred the vegan cheddar cheese block using the large holes of a box grater. Shredding from a block provides a creamier texture compared to pre-shredded cheese.
Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise and softened vegan cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the Flavorings: Stir in the diced pimentos, chopped green onions, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Incorporate the Cheese: Fold in the shredded vegan cheddar cheese, mixing until everything is well combined. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Chill (Optional): For the best texture and flavor, refrigerate the pimento cheese for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before serving, as some separation may occur.

As a Dip: Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh veggies like celery sticks and carrot slices.
On Sandwiches: Spread on bread for a classic pimento cheese sandwich.
Topping: Use it as a topping for baked potatoes, veggie burgers, or stuffed peppers.
