Cheese is one of the harder things to give up when transitioning to a Plant based Diet .

But as everything else , there is usually a substitute that is near identical in taste to whatever you will be sacrificing by taking the first steps to make this rewarding lifestyle change !

We found the recipe here On “Vegan Hugg’s” Site.  ( side note : Melissa Huggins – The creator of this blog ,  Blogs about everything vegan from food to clothes and makeup! )

  2. Drain the cashews and them with yogurt, soy milk, coconut oil, lemon juice, tapioca starch, garlic powder, nutritional yeast and salt in the blender or the food processor. Blend for 2 minutes until COMPLETELY smooth. Set aside
  3. Heat the 1/2 cup of water over medium heat. Once hot add the agar powder amd whisk very well until gel like ( 3-4 minutes )
  4. Then add in the mixture from the blender/processor and stir well and often so that it doesn't stick and burn.
  5. Once it thickens up and starts to become stretchy remove from the heat. ( should take 5 minutes or so )
  6. In scoops remove the mixture and place each scoop together in a large bowl of ice water . Cover bowl and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours ( yes leave the cheese in the water ) This will make the cheese harden and easier to slice !
