Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup coconut milk or almond milk

  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup parsley lightly packed
  • 1/4 cup basil lightly packed
  • tarragon a sprig
  • 1/4 cup green onion or 1-2 tsp onion flakes, lightly packed
  • 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chickpea miso
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke for a smokier taste. personally I prefer without as the liquid smoke over shadows the other flavors
  • 1 Tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch or potato starch
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or almond milk
  • 1 Tablespoon agar powder

Instructions

Method
    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend everything (coconut milk through olive oil) into a smooth puree. Taste and adjust tang, salt, spice.
  2. Add the starches and liquid smoke, if using, and blend.
  3. In a pan, add 1/2 cup coconut or almond milk. Whisk in the agar powder and bring to a boil. Cook on low-medium heat for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the blended mix into the pan. Mix well and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes.
  5. Transfer the mix to a greased container or mold and let sit for a few hours in the refrigerator. (I used 2 tsp of evoo to grease the container. Also brush some on the top of the block so it doesn't dry out)
  6. Slice and use. Keep refrigerated for upto 5 days.

Notes

  • Notes: for a spreadable cheese, omit the agar. Blend everything and cook for 8 minutes. then let set. Spread on bagels or serve with crackers. For a shred-able smoked gouda, see Somer's recipe here.If using Agar flakes, use 3 Tbsp flakes. Mix in milk and cook for 15 minutes before adding blended cheese mixture.More cheese? try this Cashew Mozzarella, Jalapeno popper + Havarti, Coconut Mozzarella, or Coconut Cheddar, Nacho Cashew Millet cheese.The bread in the pictures is this White Bean Sandwich Bread.
