I will definitely make this. I’m always on the prowl for healthy and tasty raw food recipes. Thanks so much. Please keep them coming Blendtec!
This is amazing and only 1 g of fat? Hard to believe since there are almonds in it….
I have only a regular square jar. How do I proceed with this?
I dont have a twister jar. can I use my 4 side blender?
This is not quite as tart as real cheese. I added 1/2 tsp lemon juice and it made a big difference.
This recipe is also pretty salty; add to taste but not more than the 1/2 tsp.
Oil a rounded mold and line with walnuts. Pack this recipe into it, chill, and unmold for a cheese ball (keep the water content low).
Also can mix the Vegan Cheese 50:50 with unsweetened soy or almond milk for Mac and Cheese sauce (about 1/2 cup of each with 12 oz pasta).
Cashews work well too; a bit creamier. Any nuts soaked in water first will soften and blend smoother.
This recipe makes just under 1 cup.
