Vegan Parmesan Cheese
Report
Vegan parmesan cheese that's rich in flavor with a perfect firm texture for grating or shaving over pasta or salad. This isn’t just some nutritional yeast crumble stuff that’s gonna disappoint you. It’s the real deal, just vegan.

Ingredients
- 120 g deodorized cocoa butter wafers (a little more than 1 cup)
- ⅓ cup almond butter smooth
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 4 teaspoons Miso paste
- 5 teaspoons rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons amchur powder
- ½ teaspoon kala namak
Instructions
- Gently melt the deodorized cocoa butter wafers by placing them in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, use a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bowl is larger than the saucepan, so no water or steam gets into the cocoa butter as it melts. Stir occasionally for about 8 minutes until the wafers are fully melted, then remove from heat.
- Pour the melted cocoa butter into a blender with all remaining ingredients. Blend on high speed for 90 seconds until smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Pour the contents of the blender into a shallow dish or mold, spreading it evenly. Let it cool at room temperature briefly before transferring it to the refrigerator to set. Chill for at least 2 hours until it is completely solid.
- Once set, the Vegan Parmesan can be grated over your favorite dishes or shaved with a vegetable peeler over pasta or salad. Store any leftover cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep well for up to one month. If you need to store it longer, wrap it well and freeze it to prevent freezer burn.

Notes
- 🚫 No Antique Blenders:
- 🚫
- A powerful, high-speed blender is non-negotiable to achieve a smooth, perfectly emulsified cheese texture. From personal experience and years in professional kitchens, Blendtec blenders are my go-to choice.
- 🧊 Freeze with Care:
- 🧊
- For long-term storage, tightly wrap your cheese in freezer-safe material and seal it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Thaw in the fridge overnight to maintain its flavor and texture.
