Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups raw cashew
- 3–4 sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry ground mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 cup organic coconut oil (liquid)
Instructions
- Place the cashews, sun-dried tomatoes, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke, sea salt, onion powder, mustard powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, and coconut oil in a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse until the mixture starts to form a paste, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Blend or process until the mixture is completely smooth. If your food processor or blender is struggling to blend the mixture, add purified water, 1 tablespoon at a time to help it to keep turning over, using no more than 3 tablespoons of water. This process takes up to 10 minutes in a food processor and a few minutes in a high-speed blender.
- Scrape the soft cheese into a container, cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until the cheese is quite firm. Scrape the cheese out of the container and place onto a clean surface. With your hands, form the cheese into one large ball or two or more smaller balls.
- Keeps in the fridge for up to a week!
