Course: Appetizer, Starter
Cuisine: French
Keywords: Smoked Plant Based Cheese, Smoked Vegan Cheese, Vegan Cheese Recipe
Servings: 2 wheels (10x4cm approx.)
Ingredients
  • 2 cups raw cashews (soaked 3-6 hours prior)
  • 50 ml canned coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp miso paste (soy-free such as chickpea miso, if required)
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 3/4 tsp good salt
  • 3 probiotic capsules
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp liquid smoke
Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients to high-speed blender and blend until silky smooth.

  2. Pour into a deep bowl and cover with a clean tea towel secured with a rubber band. Leave in a warm spot to ferment for approximately 48 hours. Less or more according to how tangy you like it. The mixture may appear cracked/dry on top as it becomes fermented and airrated. This is all good! Just give it a good stir with a fork before moving to the next step.

  3. Divide the mixture between 2 small bowls or cheese baskets lined with 1-2 layers of organic cheesecloth. Place in the fridge for another 2-3 days before either consuming or freezing. Can be frozen for up to 3 months, otherwise consume within 5 days if kept in the fridge.

  4. The perfect addition to a home made vegan cheese plate!
