Creamy Cashew & Basil Cheese

Reading Time: 2 minutes

One of the things many people often miss when switching to a vegan diet is cheese. Here is a recipe for a rich and tasty “cheese” made with nuts.

Nutritional yeast gives this recipe a surprising and delicious cheesy flavor. I recommend looking for Non-Fortified Nutritional Yeast Flakes because most nutritional yeast products are fortified with synthetic vitamins that can have negative health effects. The non-fortified yeast products provide a natural source of B-vitamins in a form that is better tolerated by the body.

This recipe never fails to please. You can use it as a salad topper,  in a raw lasagna, as a dip with raw veggies or stacked and layered with fresh sliced heirloom tomatoes.

It keeps for about three days in a sealed container in the fridge.
