This impressive-looking vegan blue cheese that tastes like the real deal, and is made using traditional cheese making. A simple vegan soft cheese can be made with nuts, herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice or splash of water. Nuts are a great base for these spreads as they pack in the protein and flavour, while adding texture.
To make our vegan cashew cream cheese , it helps if the nuts have been pre-soaked in water for about hours beforehand to soften them. The preparation of vegan cheese depends a lot on what kind of cheese you want to make.
For most vegan cheese recipes you need a very good high speed blender or a food processor. I love my Vitamix and I use it all the time to make dairy-free cheese. You might also need a cheese cloth or a nut milk bag.
The sky is the limit when it comes to the ingredients you can make dairy-free cheese with. Cashews, almonds, seeds, and even potatoes — yes, potatoes. Cream cheese on bagels, parmesan on pasta, nacho cheese dip with our chips, sliced cheese on all the sandwiches, and so much more.
A good vegan cheese seems impossible, but certain ingredients lend a cheesy flavor. How do you make vegan cheese?
