Peace Fam! I hope your year is starting off well. This week I wanted to make some vegan cheese. I wanted to try this at home, because vegan cheese can be so expensive, plus, I do feel it is important to learn to make everything you can to cut down on unwanted chemicals.

First things first, I found a version of this recipe over at Delightful Adventures, but I added some more herbs to it. The recipe seemed intimidating at first, but I managed to make it to my taste. I would describe this cheese as more of a vegan cheese spread rather than a meltable cheese.

I loved this vegan cheese spread! It really hit the spot with my homemade crackers and veggies. When the weather finally warms up, I will definitely take it out for a picnic, or use it on a sandwich, or even a just a snack with some crackers or chips. vegan cheese

Instructions
  1. Drain and rinse the soaked almonds after the 24 hours have passed.
  2. Place the soaked almonds, water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt into a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Empty mixture into a bowl, add chopped herbs and mix until everything is combined.
  4. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for a few hours so the flavour can develop.
  5. Store unused spread in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
Recipe Notes

Be sure that you are using a high-speed blender for this recipe. A regular blender will not work. Use your favourite herb and be sure to chop it up really well. My favourite is parsley and I also love using dill or chives (but not at the same time!). Only use raw, natural, unsalted almonds for this recipe. After soaking your 1 cup of almonds, they will expand a little. The soaked almonds will equal 1 1/2 cups. Spread will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days. Recipe makes 1 3/4 cups of spread. Nutrition info is for 1 serving of 7 (1/4 cup) and is only to be used as a rough guide.
