I’ve been wanting to make cashew cheese for quite a while now but just kept putting it off. I don’t know why though….it was super easy and so versatile! I’ve used it a few times in different recipes this week. I kept tasting it, trying to decide if I liked it or not – and Peter (my husband) said, “Well, it does have a cheese-like flavor but not sure it’s good, if ya know what I mean.” And I did. I was afraid to put it in the recipe because what if it ruined all that I had done??? It hardly ruined anything! It just really added a creamy like texture that melted cheese would bring and taste wasn’t too bold….just enough to feel as if there was cheese in this dish! And it worked well in all of the recipes I added the “cheese” to!
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 3/4 almond milk
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- In a large bowl, comine all ingredients until incorporated (blender would work great too!)
