Ingredients
Instructions
-
Soak the almonds for 24 hours in water and drain. Combine the water and psyllium husk in a bowl and stir well - until it is completely mixed. Reserve.
-
Put the drained almonds, soy yogurt, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, and psyllium husk mixture in the blender or food processor. Blend the mixture for 3- 5 min, pause the blender to scrape down the walls if needed, and process until you have obtained a smooth texture.
-
Slowly add the melted coconut oil with the blender running on low speed and let it run for a minute to incorporate the oil into the cheese and create an emulsion.
-
Transfer the mixture to a silicon mold, or shape it into balls and store in a container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
-
Save the mozzarella in the fridge covered with olive oil for up to 2 weeks.
-
Serve this on salads, with tomatoes, or just eat it on its own in a sandwich with a drizzle of olive oil.
