Homemade Vegan Cheese
SMOKED PAPRIKA BASIL CASHEW ‘GOAT CHEESE’ LOG
GF SF OF
Makes: 1 log
• 300g (2 cups) cashews
• 60-130ml (¼-½ cup) water (just enough to blend thoroughly)
• 1 capsule probiotic powder
• 1 tsp nutritional yeast
• ½ tsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika (make sure to coat entire log)
• Fresh basil, finely chopped
1 Place cashews in a large bowl and cover generously with cold water. Allow the cashews to soak for 24 hours so that they will be extra soft for blending.
2 After 24 hours, drain the water from the cashews.
3 Place cashews, water and probiotic powder in a high powered blender (such as a Blendtec or Vitamix) and blend until smooth and creamy.
4 Place the mixture in a strainer that has been lined with cheesecloth, then place on top of a bowl so that any excess water can drain out. Twist the top of the cheesecloth closed tightly.
