To begin with, I soaked the cashews, which obviously is the main ingredient providing the cheese with its creaminess and cheese-like consistency. Mozzarella itself is supposed to be neutral leaving the possibility to add different flavours to whatever dish you’re preparing with the cheese. Same goes for the extra flavours such as garlic powder and smoked paprika. Since mozzarella cheese doesn’t have the distinguishable cheesy taste, there’s no point to include nutritional yeast into the recipe. What’s more is that I wanted to keep my mozzarella with neutral flavour – as close to the original thing as possible. Many vegan mozzarella cheese recipes include refined coconut oil, but not mine! Cashews contain plenty of healthy fats and we don’t need to add to it. Let me start by disclosing what’s NOT in my plant-based cashew mozzarella. Enjoy with tomato slices and arugula! The Ingredients in My Vegan Mozzarella Recipe I first tried the cheese recipe as Ferdinand had created it (go and check out his Instagram for the recipe) and then added my own tweaks to mimic the original taste even more. I’ve made mozzarella also in the past using tapioca flour, but psyllium makes the recipe much simpler and quicker to prepare as is doesn’t require any cooking or baking. After all, psyllium is one of my favourite binders in gluten-free recipes.Ĭheck out Epic Cinnamon Rolls, Gluten-Free Pizza Rolls, and Oatmeal Pancakes. I was inspired by Ferdinand Beck to use psyllium husks in vegan mozzarella recipe. It has the neutral taste inherent to mozzarella.

It doesn’t require any cooking or baking.What makes this vegan mozzarella cheese so loveable is that: That being said, my cashew mozzarella has 66% of calories come from fat, whereas a recipe with added oils would be in the range of 75-80%.

It’s also slightly lower in fat than most vegan cheeses as it incorporates whole nuts and not adding any extracted/refined oils. In dietary restriction terms, my cashew mozzarella cheese is plant-based, oil-free and gluten-free. In other words, it’s a healthy temptation that you don’t have to regret succumbing to. Whole food plant-based cashew mozzarella cheese is one of those healthy comfort foods that you can love and that loves you back. No need to cook or bake anything – simply throw all ingredients into blender and you’re done. Here’s a vegan mozzarella cheese recipe that is oil-free and gluten-free yet so creamy, soft and tasty.
