Description

After blending the ingredients into a smooth mixture, the cheese is baked in the oven until golden brown and then cubed or crumbled. To preserve the texture and flavor, the cheese is stored in olive oil and can be kept in the fridge for up to five days. Enjoy this flavorful and nutritious cheese on salads, sandwiches, or as a snack!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Soak the almonds for 24 hours in water and drain them. Add all the ingredients except the almond milk, the agar-agar, and the coconut oil in the blender or food processor.

  2. Blend the mixture for 3- 5 min, scraping down the sides of your food processor bowl with a rubber spatula if needed, and process until you have obtained a smooth texture.

  3. Slowly add the melted coconut oil while the blender is running on low speed and let it blend for a minute to incorporate the oil into the cheese and create an emulsion. Set the mixture aside.

  4. Combine the agar-agar and the almond milk in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer the contents for 5 minutes to activate the agar-agar, stirring almost constantly.

  5. Turn off the heat. Pour the cheese into the saucepan, and mix the contents well using a whisk.

  6. Transfer the mixture to a silicon mold or a container, cover, and refrigerate for 12 hours before serving.

  7. Cover with olive oil, and store in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.

    What a cool recipe! I love soaked almonds. I wonder if we can use hazelnuts, pecans, or really any type of nut here! I will check it out!
