The BEST Vegan Mozzarella Cheese recipe is melty and stretchy, just like the real thing. Enjoy on top of pizza, pasta bakes, or making gooey vegan grilled cheese sandwiches. 7 simple ingredients and 10 minutes are all you need.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Boil cashews for 5 minutes or soak in hot water for 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the cashews and add to a high-powered blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the liquid cheese mixture into a small saucepan or small pot. Stir constantly over medium heat on the stove top until it starts to thicken and looks like melted mozzarella cheese.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use only raw cashews.
- Use ONLY tapioca flour to get the perfect texture. Cornstarch or arrowroot starch will not give you a melty, stretchy consistency.
- If you don’t have a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix, a normal blender will work. It’s best to boil the cashews rather than simply letting them soak.
- Do not use a food processor to make this recipe. The liquid cheese mixture needs to be very smooth without any little chunky bits.
