Recipe: Vegan Mozzarella Cheese
Servings: 5
Ready In: 15 mins
Good For: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegan, Oil-Free
Ingredients:
- ½ cup cashews (soaked)
- 4 tbs tapioca starch
- 1 ⅓ cups water
- 1 tbs fresh lemon juice (about ½ a lemon)
- 1 tbs apple cider vinegar (also called ACV)
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Soak cashews overnight, or pour about 2 cups of hot water over cashews and let them soak for 15 minutes or more.
- Drain the cashews and add to a blender along with fresh water, lemon juice, ACV, salt, and tapioca starch.
- Blend until very smooth.
- Pour soupy mixture into a small pot and raise to medium heat, and stir for a few minutes until clumpy, and more until you get a nice, thick, goopy stretch of cheese.
- Remove from heat as soon as you have your stretchy cheese (or else it will get too thick and be difficult to work with).
- Best used right away, since it will become less stretchy in the fridge.
- Enjoy on top of pizza, lasagna, or on top of double-stuffed sweet potatoes with this Spicy Eggplant Taco Meat.
Notes:
Keeps in fridge for 4-5 days.
