I’m going to leave this comment here because this is the recipe I “followed” when I first tried to make your cheese. A little alteration for my preferences but loosely following this recipe. I’m crying because I thought I messed up, it was late at night and so trying to get the excess rejuvelac out of the cheese was too trying so I put it in a container in the fridge. Wax paper on the bottom and paper towels on top and bottom of the cheese. Didn’t try to wrap it into wheels. That was literally the last thing I did for 2021. Then I just…left it there. Didn’t want to face it. This morning I opened that container as I was cleaning out my fridge. The cheese was just fine, no mold. A little wet but that was it. I tried a piece that crumbled off and it almost feels like bree! I tasted and it tasted like bree! Because I folded in some black seed there were little bits of a peppery bite but it’s sooo good! Even though I “did it wrong” it was in the right way! Leaving it alone ferments it into a soft cheese with a crumbly texture! I did add some starch to it because it’s just a little too soft but- it’s still good! Thank you Connie! I’m so excited to try this again to make some little wheels to turn into hard cheeses and eventually at least one wheel I want to try soaking in some wine for a wine cheese. This has been the most forgiving and inspiring vegan cheese- ever! Thank you!

I was so nervous to try to make something for fear I'd waste ingredients, but you're showing me that you can literally make cheese out of things on hand and be creative about it. Thank you for helping me realize it's not rocket science.

Cheeses and eggs are the two foods I have the hardest time replacing. Especially cheese as I love it both melted and at room temp. So many vegan choices just don't taste like cow milk products. I think I need to stop eating cow products for at least a couple months to "Detox" my taste buds and body. But this recipe is very interesting.

Hi Connie! I’ve been studying all your cheese making videos and love your method of cooking by feel! It’s how I cook regular meals and foods, so it made me think why does cheese making need to be any different!! :) have you ever tried using curing salt in replacement of starch to form a rind and age the cheeses?

Your recipes are perfect for a budget! 18:39 yes, they do get harmed! I don’t know why people just willfully ignore that! 38:51 maybe because of the nuts 😉 (Edit) I am thinking of a possible alternative blending method (inspired by Chef Jana - I have a powerful but very old blender) Melt the oil, blend in sauerkraut, softer ingredients and liquids, set aside, purée the chickpeas, set aside, mash the rice, mash the potato, then knead all the ingredients together like a bread dough.

Hi Connie ! Thank you so much for your cheese recipes ! (the dough was tasting really nice when I made it !! :) ) My first trial is currently aging in my apartment and I was willing to ask two questions to you. - Is it ok if some points of mold are developing on the exterior of the cheese (at day 5 or 6 of the aging process) - My cheese currently taste a lot like chickpea flower, is it normal, or did I put too much of it ? (I made a mistake on the rejuvelac quantity, and my dough was really wet. I had to put quite an amount of flour to fix this). Thank you very much for your time ! Have a nice week

@conniesrawsomekitchen

I just wrote everything and lost it lol. OK lets try again. OK after you aged it a week u can put it in the fridge to age it. If you see unwanted mold take it off and restarch put in fridge in a box with paper. It should not taste of chickpeas it should be cheesy tasting....if you find next time it's too wet. keep mixture in a bowl and put paper towels on top change as it gets wet. In a few days u sould also be able to flip the bowl with the paper under and draw out more moisture. Soon you should be able to shape it. then u can leave it out to age for a week. Did u use coconut oil?? that helps to firm up when refridgerated. so you can shape it. The first ferment I leave it out one day...then i refridgerate for one day...then i shape it ...then i leave it out for a week in a cool place, with just paper towel on top and paper under...then I put in the fridge in a box....If you don't have a cool place just put it in the fridge uncovered use only paper. on top and bottom. ( remember to always flip.

I think my rejuvelac made of chickpeas was too active or something (they smelled like fresh lemon) cause all my cheese turned into blocks of sourness, like taking a bite straight out of pickle brine, and were completely inedible. It was so weird cause they started out tasting like a very spicy delicious cheese, but now it’s just sour. I’m not sure what to do, have you ever experienced cheese coming out way too sour, and if so, what did you do with it? Much love ❤

I’ve aged cheese in the past with cashews and they can get so expensive especially if I mess up and I have to throw it out. For this recipe, is it possible to make it with all chickpeas instead of the rice and potatoes (honestly it’s because I’m too lazy to cook it and too cheap to buy pre-made)? I’m still learning to make rejuvalac and have only made kimchi, not sauerkraut, and I don’t want to put kimchi in my cheese 😂 so is probiotic with water to get it blending okay?

Ingredients: (measurements really up to you) -- 2-3 forkfuls of sauerkraut -- leftover rice (she used 1 cup) --1/2 cup chickpeas -- 1 tbsp brown miso paste -- 1 potato (not sure if baked or uncooked) -- salt to taste -- a very very small piece of onion -- a very tiny garlic --4 heaping tbsp of tapioca starch (you can use other starches, potato starch, rice starch) (starch used to elongate cheese) -- a bit of mustard for tang -- 1/4 cup of rejuvelac or sauerkraut water --4 heaping spoonfuls of extra virgin coconut oil if u want to firm it up in the fridge After blending, she adds spices, chili pepper and more tapioca flour to knead Avoid making your mix too watery, it has to be thick in order to shape it. Add chickpea flour if your batter is too wet. Add mixture to a bowl and cover with a plastic bag. Ferment overnight in your kitchen counter. Next day, leave your mixture in the fridge for 24 hrs to firm up 28:31 Next day, scoop some mixture, shape into a disc and lay your cheese over some brown paper dusted with starch. 41:56 leave your cheese in your garage or inside a shoebox, with a paper towel on top. Every day, flip it over and re-starch the top. Replace the sheet of paper if it's too wet. Your cheese will shrink as it dries up. Let it age for as long as you like.
