Vegan Melted Cheese

One of the characteristics that people miss most about cheese when they stop using it is its texture when it melts. This version of vegetarian cheese has a texture very similar to melted cheese, and therefore is excellent for use in recipes such as Salvadoran pupusas or any other recipe that requires melted cheese.

½ cup cashews
¼ cup tapioca flouror cassava starch
2 tsp lemon juice
1 ¼ cups water
2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder

Soak the cashew nuts in water for a couple of hours to get a more creamy cheese, although it’s not absolutely necessary.

2

Blend all ingredients until it’s well combined.

3

Pour the mixture into a non-stick skillet and cook over medium heat until you get a sticky ball in the center of the pan.

4

Stir constantly while cooking to prevent the mixture from sticking.
