Add Flavorings and Seasonings
Stir in nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, and any other desired flavorings or seasonings to enhance the taste of the cheese.
Blend and Refrigerate
Transfer the mixture back to the blender and blend until creamy. Line a small container with cheesecloth, pour the mixture in, and refrigerate until firm. Enjoy your delicious and easy homemade vegan cheese!
