Ingredients
- 1 cup non-dairy milk, unsweetened
- 2 tbsp non-dairy yogurt, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1 tbsp agar powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend for 30 seconds until smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour into a pot and place on the stove. Cook on medium high heat for about 5 minutes mixing continuously with a spatula until it starts to thicken. Once it thickens and is becoming stretchy lower the heat to medium and continue to cook for 10 more minutes mixing with the spatula.
- Working quickly pour the vegan cheese over a lined baking sheet with a silicone mat. Use a spatula or an offset spatula to spread into a large, thin rectangle about the thickness of a normal cheese slice.
- Place in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour or longer.
- Remove from the fridge and cut into 8 rectangles. I like to cut the uneven edges off to make a perfectly straight rectangle and then cut my slices out from there. If you don’t care about uneven edges you can skip this. You can also save the uneven edges too of course. Use a knife to carefully lift up the cheese slices.
- You can enjoy immediately or layer in a container with a piece of parchment paper in between each piece of vegan cheese. Enjoy.
