Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Cashews
  • 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Clove Garlic
  • 2 tsp Tapioca Flour
  • 1-2 Dried Hot Red Peppers
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¾ cup Water for Processor
  • 2 tsp Agar Powder
  • ¾ cup Water for Agar
Instructions
  1. Soak the cashews overnight in water and make sure they are completely covered. If you do not have that much time you can boil cashews for 10 minutes as well.
  2. When you are ready to start the recipe, put agar powder and ¾ cup water in a sauce pan and set aside.
  3. Drain the cashews and put them into a blender or food processor with the remaining ingredients. Blend for several minutes until very smooth.
  4. When cheese is smooth pour into the sauce pan over medium heat. Stirring constantly while bringing to a simmer. Keep stirring until the cheese is the consistency of a thick batter.
  5. Quickly transfer to a ramekin that is lightly coated with oil. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon to level the cheese and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  6. Remove from the ramekin and serve with your favorite crackers or fresh cut veggies.
  7. Enjoy.
