If you're looking for a non-dairy cheese substitute, here you have it. This vegan cheese is made with a base of luscious, creamy macadamias paired with nutritional yeast, lemon, and seasonings.
Directions
- Add macadamia nuts to a food processor along with lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic salt and 1/4 cup (60 ml) water.
- Blend all ingredients making sure to scrape down sides as needed.
- Then add more water, about 1 Tbsp (15 ml) at a time, until a thick paste forms.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor, salt for saltiness, lemon juice for brightness, or garlic salt for garlic flavor.
- Blend again to combine. If adding herbs or spices (like red pepper flakes) add at this time.
