Vegan Cashew Cheese Recipe

1

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews, soaked at least 4 hours
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
water, added as needed
dry herbs of choice (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth. Add just enough water to help things blend smoothly.

Line a strainer with cheesecloth. Pour cheese mixture over cheesecloth. Place in refrigerator and let sit overnight.

Form mixture into two rolls. For a flavored cheese, roll the cheese in whatever dry herbs you desire. Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 40 minutes at 250°, until edges are firm and slightly darkened. Let cool completely before enjoying.
