Gooey Mozzarella Cheez

Course: Appetizer, Pasta, Sandwich
Cuisine: Italian, Mediterranean
Servings: 1 cup

Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon miso
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Put the cashews into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. This will soften the cashews so they can blend completely smooth.
  • Put the remaining ingredients into a blender.
  • Drain the cashews and add them to the blender. Process until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continually for about five minutes; it forms lumps and turns thick.
  • Can be used as a spreadable cheez at this point, or refrigerated.

Notes

The cheez will get a little thicker in the fridge but will still be soft and spreadable.
