Vegan Mozzarella

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Naked Planet Greek Style Yoghurt

  • 1/2 cup cashews

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 5 tbs tapioca

  • 1 tbs kappa powder or agar agar

  • 1 tsp psyllium husk

  • 1 tsp sea salt 

Method:

  1. Soak cashews in a bowl of boiling water for at least 10 minutes.

  2. Prepare 3-4 glasses lined with 2 layers of glad wrap.

  3. Once cashews have softened, place them in a blender with water and oil and blend until a smooth liquid.

  4. Add all other ingredients into the blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined.

  5. Then transfer mixture into a pot at medium to high heat and continue to mix with a whisk until the mixture starts to come together.

  6. Once the mixture has come together, change your mixing utensil from a whisk to a spoon and begin to fold the mixture until it becomes shiny.

  7. Take mixture off heat and scoop out approximately one ice cream scoop into the prepared lined cups.

  8. Prepare a large bowl with salt and fill with water and ice.

  9. Remove the cheese in glad wrap from the cup by twisting the top of the glad wrap so it is nice and tight.

  10. Once you have twisted the cheese together tightly place them in the bowl of water and ice.

  11. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least one hour or until cheese is chilled and firm.

  12. Once chilled, you may want to slice it as a pizza topping or rip it apart to add in your salad.
