I’ve been wanting to make cashew ‘cheese’ for some time now but never got round to it. Yesterday i finally did it! And i have to admit it’s not bad. Great alternative to any sauce and a nice touch for tortillas with vegetables or simply as a dip with your carrots or celery sticks.
I used nutritional yeast to give it the ‘cheesy’ taste, but also for the nutritional benefits of it: it is a highly nutritious vegan food product with various potential health benefits. It can be used to add extra protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to meals.
Ingredients: 
1 cup cashews (soak them 4-6 hours or if you are in a hurry soak in warm water for 2 hours)
1/2 cup almond milk
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
salt and pepper to taste
a drizzle of olive oil
How to:
- Place the cashews, almond milk and yeast in a blender and blend for 2-5 minutes.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil and salt + pepper to taste.
- Enjoy with your choice of veggies
