5-Minute Liquid Vegan Mozzarella
Report
Made with just 7 ingredients, this liquid vegan mozzarella is a homemade recipe for the popular store-bought version. The "cheese" is made in a blender from soaked cashews that turn into this creamy and bakable mozzarella.

Ingredients
- ½ cup cashew unsalted, raw
- 2 Tbsp tapioca starch
- 2 Tbsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tsp White miso paste
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Soak Cashews: Submerge ½ cup unsalted raw cashews in water and let soak overnight (to make it quicker, submerge cashews in very hot water for 30 minutes).
- Blend: Add drained cashews, 2 Tbsp tapioca starch, 2 Tbsp oil, 1 Tbsp white vinegar*, 2 tsp white miso paste*, ¼ tsp salt, and ½ cup water to a high-powered blender. Blend on high for 3 to 5 minutes, until very smooth.
- Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.
- Cook: When ready to use, pour cheese onto pizza (or lasagna or nachos or wherever you want cheese flavor) then bake! For pizza, I like to bake it at 500°F for 4 to 5 minutes, until "cheese" is firm and just beginning to brown.
Notes
- *White vinegar brings acidity to our vegan cheese, but any neutral-ish acidic ingredient will work, like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
- *White miso paste adds a savory taste while keeping the color light (like mozzarella). You could replace this with nutritional yeast, which will give this an even cheesier flavor and a more yellow color. If using nutritional yeast, add 1 Tbsp of nutritional yeast flakes.
- Optional Flavors: Can add 1 teaspoon of garlic or onion powder for even more flavor!
- To Freeze: Freeze it in an ice cube tray and then transfer it to a freezer-safe container. When you want to use it, let it thaw overnight in the fridge. You might need to mix it up a bit to re-emulsify it.
