Cheddar Cheese from Loving it Vegan
Smoky red pepper vegan cheddar cheese. Firm and sliceable and totally delicious on crackers or sandwiches or grated on pizza.
Ingredients
1 cup (150g) Raw Cashews
1/3 cup (80ml) Water
5 Tbsp Lemon Juice (I used 4 for a little less tanginess)
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1/4 cup (60g) Tahini
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce*
1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Medium Red Bell Pepper (deseeded and chopped, about 3/4 cup)
2 and 1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika (or regular Paprika if you don't like smokey taste)
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/8 tsp turmeric (for nutrition and color)
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
1/4 cup (15g) Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Onion Powder
1 cup (240ml) Water
1 Tbsp Agar Agar Powder (not flakes)
Instructions
Add the cashews, 1/3 cup water, lemon juice, coconut oil, tahini, soy sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, red pepper, salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and onion powder to the blender jug. Blend until smooth. Set aside, but do not remove from the blender.
Add the 1 cup of water and agar agar powder to a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling let it boil for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and pour it into the blender on top of the cheese mix.
Blend until smooth.
Working quickly, as it will start to set very fast, pour it out into a round dish sprayed with non-stick spray.
Smooth it down and then place it into the fridge to set.
To remove from the bowl, turn it upside down onto a plate.
