Cashew cheese is one of those yummy raw vegan treats that is WAY easier to make than you might ever think.
Before I made it, I thought it would require fancy ingredients or some expensive kitchen tool that I didn’t have. And while there are recipes for cashew cheese that require a dehydrator, this one doesn’t! All you need is a blender or a food processor.

I’ve tried a few variations on this, including adding dill and chopped parsley, both of which are good ~ although it’s great plain, with no additions!
You can also play around with blending it to various consistencies. I usually like it best a little bit textured, as in the pictures here. If you have a super-powered blender, you can get this very smooth.
This cheese is great as a dip for fresh, cut veggies. It’s also great on amaranth bread (see my recipe!), flax crackers (like Mary’s Gone Crackers), and in collard wraps (recipe coming soon!). If you have a favorite way to eat cashew cheese, I’d love to hear it!
