Gather the necessary ingredients and equipment
Gather ingredients such as cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. You will also need a high-speed blender or food processor, as well as cheesecloth or a nut milk bag for straining.
Choose a base for your vegan cheese
Select a base for your vegan cheese, such as cashews, almonds, or tofu. Each base will result in a different texture and flavor, so choose based on your preferences.
Experiment with flavorings and seasonings
Add flavorings and seasonings to your vegan cheese, such as nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, garlic for a savory kick, or herbs and spices for added depth.
Blend and mix the ingredients
Combine your chosen base, flavorings, and seasonings in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with water or plant-based milk as needed.
Set and refrigerate the cheese
Transfer the mixture to a container lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag. Allow the cheese to set in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight, allowing it to firm up and develop its flavors.
