Easy, healthy and delicious, vegan cheese..

A big hit with the kids and adults.. My family loves it on almost anything!

   

 

                     

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup water

• 1 tbsp agar powder (can slice but still spreadable. Almost like a hard cream cheese. If want firmer use 2 tbsp agar powder)

• 1 cup raw cashews

• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• 2/3-1 Lemon juice 

• 1/2 tsp Tumeric for colour

 

PREPARATION

1. Lightly grease 1 small round baking tin with rice brand oil or other.

2. Place the cashews, nutritional yeast, salt, onion powder and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and process until very smooth.

3. Add the 1 Cup boiled water to a medium non-stick pot and add the agar. Use a whisk to stir and dissolve on med heat for about 2-3 minutes.

4. Pour the agar mixture into the blender with the cashew cream and blend on high for another 1 minute.

5. Transfer cheese into the greased tin and store in the fridge for at least 2 hours covered until set.

 

Note: this cheese is firm enough to slice, but soft enough to spread. The texture is similar to firm cream cheese.

Also nice with finely chopped fresh dill mixed in.
