Instructions
Soften Cashews
Boil the cashews in water for 2–3 minutes. This ensures an ultra-smooth blend and removes any surface impurities. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Create the Milk
Combine the boiled cashews and 2.5 cups of fresh water in a high-speed blender. Process for 90 seconds until completely liquefied.
Emulsify & Season
Add the oil, tapioca flour, miso, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until perfectly uniform and creamy.
Calibrate the Bite
Add the psyllium husk powder last. Pulse quickly just to incorporate.
Activate
Pour directly onto your dish. As it heats (aim for 180°C or higher in the oven), the tapioca will gelatinize, creating the stretchy cheese texture.
Pro Tips
Storage
Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge. If it thickens too much due to the psyllium, whisk in a splash of water before use.
Instant Umami
White miso mimics the fermentation notes of traditional cheese without the 12-hour wait time.
