This simple soft cheese recipe is rich and creamy, made from cashews, and perfect for spreading on crackers. With a touch of turmeric for color, you can customize it to your preference. The texture improves with chilling in the refrigerator.
1: Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes.
2: Add 1/2 cup water to a pan and pour the agar flakes on top. Heat the mixture until it starts to boil, stirring occasionally, and simmer for a further 2-3 minutes.
3: Add the cashews, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic, 1/4 cup water, salt, and turmeric to a blender. Then, add the agar mixture and blend for roughly 20 seconds or until the mixture is smooth.
4: Lightly grease a small ramekin and pour in the cheese mixture.
5: Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
