Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups cashews (see recipe notes)
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 cup water (+2 tbsp)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp agar agar
Instructions
- Firstly, soften the cashews. If you are using a high speed blender like a Vitamix, you can simmer them in a saucepan for 15 minutes. Otherwise, I would recommend soaking them in cool water for 4-6 hours, but no more than 8.
- Drain and rinse the cashews and transfer them to a blender or food processor. Now add the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, salt, lemon juice and ⅓ cup water. Blend until very smooth.
- Add the rest of the water and the agar agar to a saucepan over a low-medium heat. Whisk until a thick gel-like consistency forms to activate the agar agar.
- Quickly transfer the activated agar agar to the blender and blend once again to combine.
- Pour the cheese into a lightly greased mould of your choice. Leave to set in the fridge for 6-8 hours before removing and serving.
