Super creamy vegan cheese made from cashews, herbs, and fresh lemon juice.

Ingredients

Nuts

  • 2 cups Raw cashews
  • 4 cups Filtered water

Herbal seasoning

  • 2 tbsp Fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary
  • 1 or 2 cloves Garlic

Special Equipment

Directions

Overnight Soak

  • Add the cashews and the water to a large bowl or a mason jar and soak overnight. 

Making the Cheese

  • Strain the water off of the cashews and then place the nuts into the bowl of your food processor. 
  • Add the remaining ingredients and process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can add a little water to thin if needed. 
  • Serve with veggies or crackers. 

Notes

Adjust the thickness: Add more or less water to adjust the thickness of the cheese spread. You can make it dippable, like the consistency of a ranch dressing. 
Nutritional yeast adds a nice cheesy flavor to this dairy-free cheese. 
Variations: 
  • Chives and dill
  • Roasted red peppers
  • Kalamata olives
