Vegan Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews (find organic raw cashews here)
- ½ cup nutritional yeast (find organic nutritional yeast here)
- ⅛ teaspoon stevia leaf powder (find organic stevia powder here)
- 1 clove garlic
- juice from one lemon
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (find organic turmeric here)
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder, optional (find organic cayenne here)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (find unrefined sea salt here)
- ¾ cup filtered water (find the best water filtration systems here)
- 1 Tablespoon agar powder (find it here)
- ¾ cup filtered water (for step 2)
Instructions
- The first step in the vegan cheese recipe is to blend the first 9 ingredients together until there are no lumps. Set aside and move to the next step.
- In a saucepan, combine agar agar and ¾ cup water. Bring to a simmer, making sure all of the agar agar is incorporated. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Turn off heat and add cashew mixture from Step 1, stirring well. Once thoroughly combined, pour into a mold. Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, un-mold and use as you would any other cheese ball. Store in refrigerator and use within a week.
Notes
Make this vegan cheese recipe your own! Try different flavors by adding fresh basil, or oregano or even sun-dried tomatoes. You can also roll the entire cheese ball in crushed almonds, chopped cashews, parsley, or just leave plain.
