7 Plant-Based Ingredients and one is optional. This recipe is easy you blend, refrigerate, slice and serve. Deliciously simple and still impressive at a party or to those you love.
Use slices on your veggie burger, sandwich, have crackers and cheese. Make it a sauce and use it on pasta, in casseroles, use it as a spread in wraps, as a cheesy salad dressing, make a cheese-ball or other fun shapes for the holiday season. Serve it hot, serve it cold. Enjoy it alone, with a friend, with a lover, on a date, at a party and the list goes on.
My mouth waters thinking of this recipe. Gerald and I are such huge fans!! I would call this “semi-firm”. It’s firm enough to slice and put on a cracker but probably not grate. That is my one disclaimer but other than that it’s perfecto! I LOVE IT and it’s my new go-to recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do, and it can become one of your favorites too. Light your taste buds up and satisfy that "cheesy" desire.
Plant-Based Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Cashews – Soaked until Soft, Drained
- ¼ Cup Coconut Butter (Sub: Coconut Oil or Water)
- 4 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 2 Tbsp Tamari Sauce (Sub: Soy or Coconut Aminos)
- 2 Tbsp Lime Juice (Sub: Lemon Juice)
- 2 Tbsp Tahini
- OPT: 2 Probiotic Capsules (vegan)
- Blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a container lined with parchment paper, with sides slightly higher to lift out of container.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or until firm.
- Pull the cheese out of the container using the sides of the parchment to lift it out. Transfer to a cutting board. Flip it and peel the parchment off. Slice. Enjoy!!
- Coconut oil does provide a slightly smoother and firmer cheese.
- The cheese firms up considerably when refrigerated overnight. The colder it is the firmer it will be, as it warms up it will get softer.
- If you are allergic to nutritional yeast, omit this.
- If you are making more of a spread, use water, dairy free milk or vegetable broth. Add extra liquid for more of a cheesy sauce. In all cases, enjoy!
You may also LOVE the Sharp Cheddar Cheese, it’s firmer than this variety and super tasty!
