Instructions

Drain and rinse the cashews after soaking, then transfer them to a blender. Add salt, cumin, onion powder, olive oil, water, garlic, lemon juice and basil. Blend until smooth.
Place a sieve over a large bowl, then place a cheese cloth inside. Put the cheese mixture inside the cheese cloth, and wrap it up tightly.
Place a heavy object on top of the cheese, such as a couple of cans of beans, and leave it in the fridge overnight, for at least 8 hours.
Remove the cheese from the cheese cloth and shape according to your preference before serving.
