Instructions

8 steps
1

Soak the cashews overnight and drain them. In a bowl, mix the tapioca starch with the 25ml of cold water until it is completely dissolved. Reserve.

2

Dice the onion into medium-sized cubes. Peel the sweet potato and cut into medium-sized cubes. Place the diced onion and sweet potato in a saucepan, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring the contents to a boil, stirring occasionally.

3

Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender. Carefully drain the vegetables. Save 300 ml of the cooking water to use in the cheese.

4
Transfer the vegetables, cashews, and all the remaining ingredients, except the tapioca starch and water preparation, to the blender. Blend for 3 - 5 minutes, until you have obtained a smooth and homogenous texture.
5

Pour the mixture into a saucepan, and add the tapioca starch and water preparation.

6

Stir constantly with a whisk over medium heat and bring it to a boil - until it thickens. After it starts boiling, remove from the heat and serve.

7

Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for around 2-3 days.

This cheese goes great with nachos, mac n’ cheese, fries, burgers, or any dish you would love to complement with a creamy cheese sauce.

Soaked cashews are the best! Excited to try this recipe. Love the nutritional yeast here as well.
