It's certainly a quicker tactic, so it's better when you're pressed for time. Most of the cheeses in both books are nut-based, but rather than making your own rejuvelac, as Miyoko instructs, Julie recommends using capsules of acidophilus to give cheeses that tangy, aged flavor. Julie's book is similar to Miyoko's in that she includes recipes for aged and quick cheeses, but her methods are quite different so it really is nice to have both books in my collection. It's a gorgeous, full-color book with photos of every recipe. In keeping with the artisan vegan cheese trend, Julie Piatt (author of the The Plantpower Way and married partner of vegan ultrarunning legend Rich Roll) has released This Cheese Is Nuts! Delicious Vegan Cheese at Home. But cheese-making is no longer intimidating, and I know that my homemade cashew cheeses are just as good (or actually better!) than fancy vegan dairy cheeses. Since then, I've made many a cashew cheese - some aged, some quick and easy.
With a little patience and forethought to plan ahead, we were finally able to create our own fancy vegan cheeses at home. Place sliced almonds onto a small plate and roll your cheese ball over the top, coating the cheese with the almonds.A few years ago, Miyoko made vegan history with the release of her Artisan Vegan Cheese book.
With your hands, form the cheese into a ball. Once firm take the cheese out of the container and place onto your walnut and chive mixture.This step is optional but highly recommended. While the cheese is in the fridge, chop a handful of walnuts and chives for the outer layer or crust.Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until the cheese is quite firm. Scrape the soft cheese into a container, and chop a handful of chives mixing them into the cheese with a small spoon.This process takes up to 10 minutes in a food processor and a few minutes in a high-speed blender. If your food processor or blender is struggling to blend the mixture, add purified water, 1 tablespoon at a time to help it to keep turning over, using no more than 3 tablespoons of water. Blend or process until the mixture is completely smooth.Place the cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, sea salt, onion powder, garlic and coconut oil in a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse until the mixture starts to form a paste, scraping down the sides as necessary.It’s an important ingredient but if for some reason you can’t have it or find it, it also works with it omitted. It’s rich in B vitamins and many brands contain the elusive B12. You can find it in most grocery stores and health food shops. This stuff is amazing when making a vegan cheese alternative. Nutritional yeast, also known as nooch or hippie dust, is an inactive yeast that is made from sugar cane or beet molasses that have been grown for their nutritional properties. What is the Secret Ingredient To Making Vegan Cheese?! But if you taking this to a party then I suggest taking the extra step as it’s so visually appetizing and will wow all your non-vegan peeps! You can add some chopped nuts as a crust but that’s totally optional and not what I typically do when making this for myself. Placing it into a bowl lined with parchment paper, set it in the fridge to set. Blend until smooth and that’s it! You got some super yummy cheese :) Just add them to a food processor or high-speed blender along with the lemon juice, spices, nooch (aka Nutritional Yeast), and coconut oil. There’s no need to soak the cashews since they are already super soft.
It’s actually super simple! All you need is cashews, a few spices, nutritional yeast, lemon or apple cider vinegar, and a little coconut oil. You can also dollop it on top of soups, add it to salads, pasta, and everything in between – you can’t go wrong. Spread it on your favorite cracker, serve with vegetables, or spread it on sandwiches.
