Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked
  • 650 ml water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh from about 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons tapioca starch

Method

  • Add the cashews to a blender along with the water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt and tapioca starch. Blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. It will be very watery at this point.
  • Now pour the watery mixture into a small saucepan and bring the heat to medium. Begin to stir with a spatula or spoon.
  • After a few minutes, it will begin to get clumpy. Keep stirring, constantly until suddenly it will become super gooey, stretchy, thick and smooth. It will become one big mass of stretchy vegan cheese. Remove from heat as soon as this happens.
  • Use immediately, or store in a covered container in the refrigerator. It is easiest to use immediately, because it will thicken up more in the fridge and be less stretchy. So if possible, especially for using on pizza or lasagna, make right before using.
  • For pizza, drop 1-2 tablespoon sized balls onto the crust and pat down a little bit. Or spread it all over. It will brown in the oven. For lasagna, drop dollops of the cheese all over the top towards the end of cooking time. Or place between bread and grill for grilled cheese.
