Vegan Nut Cheese

Vegan Nut Cheese

Vegan nut cheese is awesome!

I love vegan nut cheese and I really love making vegan cheese too! Its so easy to do and this version of vegan cheese is really delicious!

The recipe I am sharing with you is a base for cheese, a simple mild flavour that can be enhanced by adding spices for additional flavour. You could add any combination of basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary or chives to name a few.

Very easy to make, all you need is time and few ingredients…..

Vegan Nut Cheese

What you will need for your vegan nut cheese

• 2 c raw cashews or macadamia nuts, soaked for 4 hours or more, rinsed and drained

  

• 1 t pro-biotic powder (you can get this from your local health food store – keep in fridge)
• 1/4 c filtered water
• 1- 1.5 T miso

  

• 1/2 t sea salt
• 1/4 – 1/3 c coconut butter, warm up till it is liquid (coconut butter contains all the coconut)

PREPARATION

1. Soak the raw nuts in lots of water for a minimum of 4 hours up to overnight
2. Rinse and drain the soaked nuts and add them to your blender (high speed preferred)
3. Add in the pro-biotic powder (remove from the capsules), filtered water, and miso and blend until smooth.

   

4. Pour into a bowl, cover and place in a warm spot that’s about 70°F. Let sit overnight.
5. Taste the cheese, it should be a bit tangy.
6. Place the fermented cheese into your food processor and add in the sea salt, coconut butter and blend some more.

   

7. Pour the mixture into a bowl
8. Add in the finely chopped herbs and mix into the cheese.
9. Put the cheese in the freezer for about 10 minutes
10. Take the cheese out of the freezer and put in on some plastic wrap and using the plastic wrap cover and shape the cheese into a wheel and wrap tightly
11. Place it in the fridge for a few hours
12. Enjoy your delicious cheese with crackers, on a sandwich, in a wrap. Whatever you desire.

    

13. I placed about half of my finished product in plastic wrap and put in the freezer for another day. That way it will be fresh and won’t go to waste.
