You can cut down the cost of cashews a bit by buying cashew pieces rather than whole cashews. They do cost less and since you're going g to blend them anyway, pieces are just as good.

Try using green olive brine over nooch ... that’s the salty water that the green olives are in .. just a couple of teaspoons of the liquid and it will give it a great cheese flavour. Don’t over do it, you want just a hint of sourness. I prefer it for mozzarella for flavour and colour.

Tapioca starch is simply another name for cassava starch, and both terms are used interchangeably. The starch is extracted from the cassava root and is widely used in cooking and baking for its thickening properties. So, there is no difference between cassava starch and tapioca starch; they are the same substance.” Hope that helps! 😊

Yes it will! But not straight from the fridge. Once it cools it becomes more solidified and much less gooey. So if you want it to return to that original state, try heating it up first on the stove or even in the microwave. Usually I do about 20 seconds in the microwave and then add it to my tortillas on the stove and make my quesadillas that way! You also don't need to reheat the whole portion, just take out what you need for each serving and re-heat it that way. (Even solidified it should still be pretty easy to scoop out.) 😊

There isn’t a 1:1 swap for the nuts in this recipe, but I’ve done a lot of other nut free cheese recipes on this channel! Try one of these: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lnuVmKR8YZynoLA.htmlsi=iNv5oRIxzDRc8Xw8 or kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXWp1dVwYarWlco.htmlsi=gmwgITGpSwRfSKxB or kzread.info/dash/bejne/g3ZsyJOwZq6yibQ.htmlsi=kWQS4bm_gZD8mh1g 😊😊

I think so! It's solid when cold so you could easily refrigerate, slice, then freeze before breading & baking or frying. Let us know if you give it a try! 😃

Can it be made without nuts?

This one not really… although you could sub sunflower seeds for the nuts if you’re ok with seeds! It might alter the flavor a bit though. I do have 3 other vegan cheese sauces without nuts on my channel though! Just search “let’s eat plants vegan cheese” and you’ll find them. 🤗🤗

The best thing is that there's no coconut oil in the cheese, which nearly all of the store -bought cheeses contain, so it's more of a WFPB food, and cuts out the saturated fat.

You can! It will have a slightly different taste though. Cashews are more neutral tasting. However, if you don't mind the taste difference, go ahead! 😊

Is a good vegan recipe, I think my problem is that I just don't like my nutritional yeast 🤔 but i'm not vegan and a can tell that it doesn't taste like mozzarella.....or like cheese...but that is ok because is healthy 🤗

I've heard a few people say that! There are definitely some substitution options for nutritional yeast. I've heard white miso paste can work well. Or maybe even extra of the other ingredients. But yes, won't taste exactly like cheese... but agree it is at least healthier! 🤗🤗

If you dont have tapioca, you could probably do corn starch

@LetsEatPlants

Yes you can, but it will give the cheese a different consistency. Cornstarch will simply thicken the mixture, whereas tapioca will give it that "stretchy" consistency. 😊😊

There's also A LOT of sodium in store bought premade vegan cheese, let alone the other ingredients that are used as stabilizers. I stopped consuming them and investigating making homemade vegan "cheeses". I find it interesting though that vegans want a pseudo-cheese. Personally, I'm not a vegan nor a vegetarian. But I am trying to eat healthier.

There’s a big difference in being a vegan and eating a plant based diet. I try to avoid processed foods they aren’t very healthy, often they are loaded with emulsifiers, unhealthy oils, palm sugar, high sodium, they are marketed to appeal as replica dairy cheese, meat or convenience food and are just as unhealthy as any processed foods containing meat or dairy.. I used to eat vegan cheese but now make most of my plant based foods and nut milk from scratch it’s not difficult and I know what’s going into the food. I also make soy milk and use the okara for lots of healthy recipes along with organic soy beans. I agree that it’s odd that so many people call themselves vegan and crave plant based cheese or meat flavours. I’m going to try this recipe with peanuts or maybe chickpea flour, cashews are high FODMAP. Thanks for sharing your recipes it’s good to experiment with different options :)

Just saw a video talking about how vegan cheese doesn't melt & isn't stretchy. Now I'm seeing this. I'm confused

@LetsEatPlants

2 жыл бұрын

Hahahaha. Well.. vegan cheese is still pretty new! And not all vegan cheeses are good... although luckily they are getting better all the time! When I first went vegan there were *not* a lot of store bought options, and the ones that did exist weren’t very stretchy or melty!! So it’s likely that wherever you heard that info was referring to those cheeses. Nowadays there have been a lot of improvements and a lot more melty & strechiness added. 😆😆 Especially when you make homemade cheeses, since those can be altered to add more of the ingredients that add stretchiness. You can definitely find vegan cheeses that melt & stretch, though probably not exactly the same as dairy milk cheese (for now). But they are still delicious and most are worth a try! Hope this helps!

Have you tried substituting blanched peanuts for cashews? I myself, cannot taste the difference! Peanuts would be, in addition to being much less expensive, far more environmentally friendly, especially if you live in North America, since most cashews have to come all the way from Mozambique, whereas, most North American peanuts only have to come from the State Of Georgia!

This video is for cashew cheese! So it will not taste like cauliflower. The cauliflower cheese sauce is here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXWp1dVwYarWlco.html and in my opinion, does not taste like cauliflower! There is a slight starchi-ness from the cauliflower, but no cauliflower flavor because the other flavors are quite strong and overpower it. 🤗🤗

If vegan stuff is so great, why do you have to keep naming your food items as non vegan things. Why can't it rest on it's own merits?

@LetsEatPlants

3 жыл бұрын

Good question! I think it's mainly to have a name people recognize. For example, what would be a good name for this cheese here if we don't use the word "cheese"? In addition, a lot of vegans try to recreate familiar flavors, textures etc. so we use the same names associated with those food items. Many of us used to like the taste of animal products (cheese, meat, etc.) so it's not that we don't want the taste, we just don't want to contribute to the industry, that's all. 😊😊

@@LetsEatPlants Exactly, it's a marketing thing. You call it cheese because it brings clicks, it allows people to relate to the item and sort of come in with expectations that you can then manage. But that's not talking about the product. That's simply misleading people no? Why not call it "Cashew Shairna" (pronounced share-na). I literally just made that up. Imagine you're having people over. "Yeah, please enjoy the fresh corn chips, feel free to use the salsa or the cashew shairna." "Wait, what's cashew shairna?" "Oh, it's cashews that have been softened and mixed with other ingredients into a warm, savory dip!" That's infinitely better then having something called "vegan cheese or cashew cheese" because people won't be let down by the taste (no, your stuff doesn't taste like cheese/mozzarella), and they'll be able to appreciate what they're eating because they'll have the right expectations going in. And if that's not enough, you've actually added to the culture of veganism. At least, that's the way I see it. If you're proud of what you make, let it stand on it's own.
