No doubt. The last few days I've melted it on bread, in tacos with fake meat, with beans, with vegan fries, pasta, even on sandwiches. It melts every time as long as you don't glob it on. I've also used it on pitas for a fajita so it would work as pizza. It also reminds me of pizza when I eat it.

+CookingWithPlants Looks delicious! Can't wait to give this a try! I'm curious though how long can you store these home made cheeses in the fridge before they go bad? Oh and keep making videos your channel is great!
+CookingWithPlants ...wow ...looks and shreds just like cheddar. I've go to try this - thanks for sharing! The recipe makes so much ...I've got a Magic Bullet ...do you think if I cut the ingredients in half that it would be decent for the job? Thx!
We made this today. It tastes amazing, and grates and slices beautifully. I’m totally blown away that this is basically only oats, sweet potatoes, nutritional yeast and a few spices. Amazing. Thank you so much.
As a person who quit eating meat and dairy just two weeks ago, I must say this cheese tastes EXACTLY like the hot melty cheese we get with nachos when going to the movies. It's incredibly yummy, but I must say I prefered it melted. Guys you have to try this on a baked cheese toastie with vegan butter on top, it's heavenly. Thanks so much Anja, you make my transition easier.
That's what I do w this and similar recipes. I remove a cup or so to use immediately on pasta, nachos or steamed veggies, then reduce the agar/water mix proportionally to finish the firm cheeze. It's nice to not have to wait hours to enjoy the savory goodness, and, as I live alone, i don't end up with more than I can eat before it goes off as this has a very short shelf life compared to a dairy cheese.
I must have made this fifty times already, but I do not want to buy agar agar any more and throw out thick plastic containers, so make it without (add less water) as sandwich spread, appetizer or nacho dip. Great for sharing with non-vegans, everyone seems to like it. Thanks for the recipe! This one and the egg salad are fav in this vegan household!
I literally just made this and used it for grilled cheese sandwiches. Omg. my 4 year old devoured it and didn't even notice the difference . Thank you do much this was sooooooo good
HI Anja. I just made your smoked paprika cheese. The cheese is so delicious! I cannot believe how easy the recipe was to pull together. This is by far the best vegan cheese recipe I have made. I also used the mixture as a sauce poured over steamed cauliflower. I put all the cheese ingredients together, blended them together but did not add the water/agar . Again, delicious! I can't wait to try another one of your cheese recipes.
I just made the recipe and its perfect. I wasn't sure I would have anything left in the blender before adding the agar....omg, so good. This would be a perfect cheese soup. I can't wait until the cheese is set and ready. Great recipe.
Wow wow wow! I just made this with my boyfriend and we love it! Also, adding just a dash (1/4 tsp) of cayenne pepper along with the other spices helps bring out the flavors. FYI the texture of the cheese once cooled is not like dairy cheese. It feels more like jello. However, it melts pretty well as we found out in a grilled cheese sandwich. Thank you so much for this recipe!
Hey I just wanted to say I love you and thank you for going out of your way to help newbie vegans like myself!! I'm literally just trying to get as many recipes under my belt to ensure I dont eat the same thing every day lol! Thank you Anja!! :)
You are a genius! This works beautifully. I did only 2 substitutions, plus I have a suggestion for others. Substitutions: My husband is not allowed oil in any form so I simply roasted a red bell pepper in the oven instead of using one that had been in oil & vinegar as noted in the video. The second substitution was to bake the sweet potatoes as I wanted to maximize the sweetness and in this part of the world baking is preferred over steaming to accomplish that task. As they say, to each their own. Suggestion: I tasted this mixture in the blender before I started the agar agar in the water. The flavor was fantastic! Just as a cheese sauce for anything, especially baked tortilla chips for the ever-popular nachos for parties, this would be very hard to beat. Thank you for both - the wonderful "cheese" and the immediate use as a sauce without the need for the agar agar process.
Thanks for your feedback Jane. So glad you like it. I try not to add any oil to my recipes so the chargrilled peppers I had were only marinated in vinegar, salt and sugar brine (no oil) but making it yourself is even better :-) Well done and thanks for your comments. I loved the base sauce too for mac and cheese or grilled cauliflower etc
I have now taken the sauce base and used it on sliced baked potatoes and then heated, to make the most delicious scalloped potatoes! I think nachos are the next experiment. I have given samples of the "cheese" to omnivore friends and they loved it, too. It seems to be a hit from every direction!
Jane Madden Fantastic Jane! It's such a versatile recipe and I'm glad your omnivore friends like it too!!! Would love to see some photos of your creations xx
I'm baaack! I just wanted to let you know that I did just this evening make another batch of the better-than-cheddar cheese using the proper amount of agar flakes this time - and with amazing results. Because I like to experiment in the kitchen, this time I added a tiny bit flavoring from black truffle - just a bit - and because I didn't have smoked paprika I used a good Hungarian paprika and added almost a cap full of liquid smoke. The flavor is so divine, I wish I could send you a chunk. Be well, and thanks again for sharing. :)
That's absolutely AWESOME. I just did it today almost after 6 years you put this recipe on this channel. Thank you for creating and sharing with us such a delicious vegan cheese recipe. Kudoos from Canada.
Turned vegan 3 months ago and love searching / making my own little recipes . I love smoked paprika so much it was getting expensive buying the little spice jars so I sent for a kilo of the stuff!. Will definitely be making this cheese recipe :) thank you!.
I found this recipe this morning, and, luckily, I already had every ingredient on hand. I just took it off the stove, and it is now setting in a plastic container. The agar powder is amazing. It's unreal how non-vegan this cheese tastes, not to mention, the texture is just like cheese. Literally. Fresh off of the stove, it feels and tastes like melted dairy cheese. I love this. I will definitely be doing this again. Thank you! :)
Made this today - love it! Was worth waiting to order the agar powder. Just had it on toast and grilled it for a few minutes; it browned a little and was really tasty with tomatoes on top. I bought a smoked vegan cheese recently and it was mostly made of coconut oil and soy and I felt yukky after eating it - this is way better. I may make some more and freeze it as the big jar of peppers I bought for it need to be eaten in 3 days!
I know it's not a fresh vid but i have to say it (after all these years of me watching v-cheese videos and making it myself): You are the only one, who adds REASONABLE amount of nooch, while others used to put not more than 2 or 3 tbsp tops😕 We need a _strong_ 💪cheesy flava for our vegan cheese, people! And 2 tbsp will not make a thing. So nooch it, nooch it.. nooch it like you should!😀
Thank you for the great recipe! I love that this is nearly fat-free. I used agar flakes... I used 8 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of agar flakes, which I allowed to soak in the water for 10 minutes before beginning to cook it. I cooked it for a good 10 minutes thereafter, just to make sure it was completely dissolved. Thanks again! I look forward to trying more of your recipes!
Thanks so much for this recipe. Instead of the oats I used chick peas and fried a red pepper in olive oil with onions and balsamic vinegar before adding to the blender, but it still tasted great. I really enjoy your videos and thanks again. Very much appreciated.
this worked so great, i could not find the yeast, but used other herbs and a bit of garlic and the taste is still great, best toasted cheese sandwich of my life.
+Christiaan Esterhuizen thank you for this comment, I am alergic to yeast and was feeling really deprived as I can see it's a fantastic recipe, so I will have a go now without the yeast. I am surprised that it turned out well, yeast gives vegan cheeses the very cheesy taste. However, I will substitute it with some miso which tastes quite cheesy too.
Made this today. It's delicious. Thank you Anya. I only had enough agar agar powder for half the mixture, whoops. I split the cheese mixture and made half solid 'cheese' and the other haf I will use over vegetables pasta or rice. Easy, no fuss recipe.
You can just buy the peppers already roasted in a glass jar, usually in your pickle section in your supermarket. Then if you want, you can take one of the roasted red peppers from the glass jar and soak it in vinegar for a bit.
You rock :) I once bought 3 soy based cheeses and I was NOT impressed (not bad, but just too soy-ish flavour). Also they were like super expensive (there aren't many vegan options where I live). I am thrilled to see these cheese recepies from you. Totally subscribed! :) Thank you!
CookingWithPlants Okay, it took me some time, but I finally made it. I made it with regular steamed potato (that's best for baking) and didn't use garlic powder (didn't have any and I'm also afraid it might "burn" me, as raw garlic "burns" me (too much stomach acid afterwards), but raw onion doesn't). I also used hot paprika instead of smoked, added 1 tsp of chilli powder and instead of white I used black pepper. I also used 1 tsp of sea salt, but could easily use just 1/2 (I like to keep my salt low). I've also added 1 tsp of sunflower chilli oil with smoke flavor. I must admit this one is a winner (I liked cheeses when I was eating them, but this is way better!). So, how long does this last in fridge? THANK YOU AGAIN! :)
I tried the recipe yesterday and love the cheese! There are quite some shops in London that sell vegan cheese, but the products all contain lots of fat. Your cheese is a great alternative for everyone who lives according to Dr. Campbell's nutrition suggestions.
Ive got to say, out of all the vegan cheese videos Ive ever seen, this is the one Im most excited to try! I didnt think you could make it without oil or nuts - THANKYOU!!! :-)
I want to thank you for this awesome recipe, it's a great option to the nut based fermented cheeses I usually make, and quicker and cheaper than the plant yogurt fermented cheeses too! Nice to have a variety and choice, great job!
Tried this today and wow! I can't believe it's nut free and low fat. I probably need to work on the consistency next time. Mine was just a bit soft because I panicked and thought the agar agar looked too think so I added more water. It has still kept it's form though and didn't affect the taste at all. Was amazing! Thank you so much :-)
I really want to make this, but not sure what the UK measurements would be? I think I have converted it correctly or there about for UK. Does this look ok? Does it have to be really precise? I know Australian measurements are slightly smaller than UK tbsp, and had to change cups to grams. • 250 ml water • 90g oats • 250g sweet potato, steamed until soft • 1 whole roasted red peppers, marinated in vinegar • 115g nutritional yeast • 1 tbsp smoked paprika • 2.5 tsp celtic sea salt • 0.5 tsp white pepper • 1 tsp onion powder • 1 tsp garlic powder • 2 tbsp lemon juice • 250ml water extra for over top of mixture in blender Agar Agar thickener: • 330ml cups water 2.5 tbsp + 1 tsp agar agar powder Thanks for your help! Cannot wait to they this :)
Thanks, I can see the recipe is in Metric on your site. So with the dry ingredients, do you measure out in ml? So it would work if I poured the Nutritional yeast into a measuring jug to the 125ml line? Same with 250ml of Oats and Sweet potato? Thanks so much for your help! Hopefully it goes well, planning to make it tomorrow :)
Best recipe ever! I've just made it and it turned out amazing as a spaghetti souse !! The only thing i will adjust is the salt as it is too salty for my taste. Tomorrow tortilla wrap with the cheese and some grilled veggies. Yummm
omg!!!! That is the easiest recipe that I've seen cant wait to try. i did try the cauliflower taco meat and made tacos with fresh tortillas. my kids didnt even knew that it was cauliflower. all they were doing was enjoying the food. thanks soooo much.
Nice looking recipe, I have heard a lot of folks recently mention nutritional yeast as being used for "cheese" type of dishes. That spread of food you had at the end looked delicious.
I made this years ago and it was AMAZING! Something went wrong though- not sure if I didn't leave the agar agar on the heat long enough or didn't add enough, but it turned out with a softer texture... more like a cream cheese. I used it as a spread for my bread though and it was seriously addictive! Must give it another try. 🙌
I just bought your book in digital form. I am very surprised that it took me this long to come across your channel; I've been looking for just this kind of cooking: limited oil/nuts, flavorful, quick and easy, and most importantly, sustainable. I am so glad that I found you, thanks!
Ok dang-I wish I had read the comments here before I started! I just put my cheese loaf in the fridge to cool. I was a little concerned since my agar didn't get all thick like your did in the video, but I read the package, which said simmer until dissolved then cool until set, so I'm hoping it comes out well. The taste was magnificent, so if it comes out as soft cheese that will be great, too! I've always appreciated cream cheese on chips or crackers or on a toasted cheese sandwich tomato soup! Thanks for the recipe!
CookingWithPlants Hi again. It didn't set up to the consistency of any kind of cheese - initially it was more like cream cheese when it's been sitting on the counter top a while - but it works on toasted bread. After it had been in fridge a while I notice water in the bottom of the container so I took the remainder of the loaf and put it into cheese close and hung it up over the sink to let the water drain from it -now it's more like a pretty good paneer - talk about adventures in the kitchen. I'm disappointed at all since the learning process was fun. I'm sure the next batch will turn out beautifully.
Wow... lots of adventures there. The two main things are that you need to use agar powder (if using flakes use 3 times the amount) and make sure you cook it long enough so it activates... also make sure NOT to use a lid when setting the cheese as this creates condensation and can make the cheese wet. Good luck with the next batch xx
Just made the smoked Paprika, gotta say it's pretty bangin, yum as you say so much lol the Agaar is a lil different in the UK, I used flakes but it turned out ok, so yum, thank you for sharing your yum recipes xo
Yay! Finally! I was getting so discouraged because I kept seeing all the nut cheeses with cashews 🤢. I'm so glad that there's a different version I can eat without worrying about allergies. Cheese has been the hardest thing to stop eating. I'm looking forward to making this someday soon!
I love all your videos, so inspiring! As a new vegan ( old vegetarian tanks to cheese.... ) I am very exited about all these great recipes you have, thank you so much. I spread you video to every vegan cheese debate I come across, hehe :)
I made this yesterday, and loved the flavour! I couldn't quite get around eating it cold in slices, as I found it a bit rubbery (not sure if that's the word). I tried it in a toasted sandwich with avacado, and it was the best! I think I will freeze the rest, in small portions, to use in sauces, sandwiches etc at a later date. :-) thanks for your creation. Love your channel!
Girllllll...When I tell you I am so happy I found your darn channel👏👏👏👏🙌..I love we some cheese & to able to make this & not miss out on the greatness of cheese that we all love so much. In doing this with some jalapenos and red onions lol thank you so much for sharing I can't wait to try this
awesome recipe, finally some cheese you can eat without thinking about all the calories and it tates so great! Also you can add so many other stuff to it. Used some really hot chily flakes to get an extra hot taste :) thanks a lot for this! Best vegan greets from germany
This is recipe is much more accessible than most vegan cheeses. Soy and nuts are both expensive where I live, but I can definitely get the ingredients for this!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it came out great. My nephew loved it! For Christmas, I'm going to eliminate the agar and try to make a baked macaroni and cheese.
CookingWithPlants Just got done with the mac'n cheese test run. My boyfriend (NOT vegan) really loved it!!! He's also a really picky eater so you can tell your "cheese" recipe is AWESOME! Thanks!
I just tried this. It is wonderful. I subbed the smoke paprika for smoker serrano (this is what I had on hand) it still came out great and spicy. Also I found agar agar powder at an Asian grocery story for way cheaper than buying it online in case anyone is looking. I am in the US. Thanks again for this recipe. So happy and trying to be vegan faithfully. Thanks again love your channel.
Delicious. Thanks. I used agar flakes instead of powder (had to use 3 times more) and my ordinary blender worked well. I roasted 3 local West Indian seasoning peppers as I had no red bell pepper. Will make this regularly.
Really nice idea, looks great and just what I'm looking for, I'm not sure what the Nutritional Yeast is here in Europe, I think that's the only query, so I need a bit of detective works there, but I plan to give it a try in next couple of weeks in the quest to reduce our impact on the planet and in particular the lives of animals.
I'm freaking out about this recipe... I've been doing a happy dance ever since I came up with it :-) I just had it in a toasted sandwich with organic brown rice miso paste and hummus... OMG!!!!
CookingWithPlants I ordered the agar powder online and bought smoked paprika and sea salt. Still need the white pepper and sweet potato. Do you marinate the pepper in white vinegar after it's grilled or before? Do you think we could do other types - like a strict cheddar or jalapeno? I'm thinking of making subs like Subway and using this or perhaps some type of bean patty similar to the veggie patty they sell.
Potato Strong I get the marinated ones from the shop and they are just in a vinegar and sugar brine. You could put any flavors you like... I actually ate mine with jalapeno and the chili punch was awesome. Let me know how you go :-)
I'll be buying those 2 things as I have to wait for the agar agar powder - had to order from amazon and the delivery estimate is at least a week. I don't have a lot of options where I live. Can't wait to try it!
I'm so greatful for all your answers. I tried againg with more cooking, red pepper marinafed in vinegar, more agar-agar still didn't work but is ok ill leave it for now and try again later. I try some other of your recipes and I'm so happy to inform that it was a succes not only in the kitchen but with my friends and family they all loved. All credits to you. ......I'll be back lol Thank you so much
Just made it a couple of hours ago. I added 2 tablespoons of unsented coconut oil so that it would melt down easily. Can't wait to eat it tomorrow ! Thanks for this marvellous recipe !
I love your channel and recipes, Anja. So creative and innovative. We made your pizza recipe before and it was the best vegan pizza ever! You should bring out a recipe book for easier access. Keep up the good work, will be following your channel for sure. Love Brigitte
Thanks from one cook to another. I appreciate your recipies, they are great and you do a great job of explaining everything and you also have a delightful presence. This is such a great recipe. No nut vegan cheese. I used a little less water so the flavors wouldn't be diluted. Just enough water that it will mix in my blender. Also I don't have a fancy blender like yours but it worked anyway. The real test will be whether or not my husband likes it! I also used a roasted red pepper and a half a roasted onion and 1 roasted garlic clove instead of the powders. My sweet potato was also roasted. Everything was in the oven yesterday ready for the experiment today. I got the agar agar at a Asian grocery near by also yesterday which gave me a good opportunity to get out of the house for a walk.
Over from Veggie Rose channel, someone suggested she check out your videos for cheese recipes. Thanks for sharing your recipes 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳
Thank you!! Just saw your "make your own cheese" video, and loved your presentation. I can eat soy, though I do have a small allergic reaction, but this will help out for my congregation's Potlucks! (and make me feel better too* ;) )
Thank you for this great recipe. I tried it yesterday so I wanted to tell you about my experience. I'm from Germany and the agar-agar powder I can buy here doesn't thicken when I cook it. It will thicken though, when I let it cool down in the fridge. But sadly the cheese turned out softer, than in your recipe. I cannot grate or slice it :( So I guess the agar-agar powder you can get here isn't as "strong" as shown in your recipe. But besides this little problem the cheese is delicious and I will give it another try. Just thought it is some useful information for you, because I guess you have other viewers worldwide :) Thank you so much for your great recipes! i really enjoy watching them.
This is excellent! Have you incorporated rejuvelac in this or other "hard" cheese recipes? I'd like to add it but am not sure if it will interfere with the texture or consistency.
CookingWithPlants Thank you so much, I am allergic to soy and nuts. I went to a Vegan Soul Food restaurant and ordered the mac and cheese. I had the worse reaction to it because of the cashews. I was new to being a vegan, so I had no idea that many of the recipes called for cashews. Thank you so much!
I only didn't have a red Pepper...So i grilled frozen pepper onion mix. And i added liquid smoke, siracha, garlic, BBQ powder SEASONING, jalapeno seasoning, rosemary, onion pd, blk pepper, cumin, sage. And i cut the recipe in half to test it. it was good!
I just made it for my first time! So excited! I got some problems to with the agar agar to activate it. The trick here was to let it cool down. I was wondering how long it will stay good in the fridge, couple of days/weeks?
CookingWithPlants Ok! Too bad that it's more like cream cheese. I've did something wrong with the agar agar. Maybe I will use something else next time. Maybe arrow root?
The two main things to keep in mind are that you need to use agar powder (if using flakes use 3 times the amount) and make sure you cook it long enough so it activates... also make sure NOT to use a lid when setting the cheese as this creates condensation and can make the cheese wet.
Increeeedible recipe!!! Thank you so much for sharing :) And the video itself is very nice as well, you are such a sweet person :) Big thumbs up + subscription. Greetings from Berlin, Lisa
I used jalapeños instead of bell pepper. I had Agar Agar flakes that I grinded down in a coffee grinder, still as I cooked the water with Agar, I kept looking at the consistency and kept adding more Agar until it looked like hers in the video. It definitely hardens fast so be ready after blending. I love the flavors, will definitely be a staple in my home.
Maria Camila Angel- Yes my life style has been changed by the grace of God. However I do realize that my body is the temple of God 1Corinthians 6:19 Did God give us human bodies to used and abused as we like, or does he expect more? I believe he expect us to care for the body. Also you look great too. Have blessed one😊😇
This recipe is amazing! My husband and i just love it and so does the grandkids! I love that its no fat, thank you so much! I shared this recipe with family and friends :)
I'm excited for this! My frozen Daiya cheese has been sitting in the freezer for a year because I don't want something high in fat and it has a lot of oil. Now, I can make cheese for others that I can enjoy also.
Hey Anja. I bought the ingredients and I'm ready to try this cheese. I just wanted to ask you how long can the cheese been keeped in thehu fridge? I just started on the vegan diet, almost 3 months now and I love your channel. You are really inspiring and in my opinion the new Vegans need inspiration about great food and how to prepare it. I already unsubscribed a lot of vegan channels here on RUclips because is nothing but animal welfare and abuse. It's pretty irritating and when one is hungry it's not helping 😊 so keep it real as you always do and thank you for all the inspiration.
+Juice it! Thank you for your lovely feedback. So glad you like the recipes and my channel. You can keep this in the fridge for about a week in an air tight container. You can also freeze it but it does taste best fresh :-)
No nuts, no tofu, so it's basically fat free! Yay! I've been trying to find a vegan cheese recipe without nuts. Thank you! I like that you post the ingredients in the description too, so we can get an idea ahead of time. Awesome recipe! Love your channel!
OH MY GOD, I JUST MADE THIS. It melts; tastes GREAT!!!, and I even made a few mistakes (not enough goop on the agar) but it turned out FANTASTIC!!!!
***** Great :-) Glad you like it as much as I do :-)
you say it melts.. do you think this could be used on pizza? :D
No doubt. The last few days I've melted it on bread, in tacos with fake meat, with beans, with vegan fries, pasta, even on sandwiches. It melts every time as long as you don't glob it on.
I've also used it on pitas for a fajita so it would work as pizza. It also reminds me of pizza when I eat it.

sounds great, i cant wait to try this, but idk what you mean "itll melt as long as you dont glob it on" like too thick?
yea if its thick it just gets hot but doesn't melt so much

Mark Kennedy It will keep in the fridge for about 1 week. Or you can freeze it, but it is definitely best fresh :-)
is there any replacement other than oat? ^^Thx
This looks delicious! I am so excited to try this😀

+Crisalsera Welcome to the vegan lifestyle!!
Wow. It looks easy. I’ve all the ingredients except agar agar. I’ll buy that. Read all the comments. Good to know that it melts. ❤️from Canada 🇨🇦
The mixture before the agar is delicious and would make an excellent cheese sauce for pasta.
thanks
That's a great idea :). You could add a bit of agar agar, and make that cheese harden while cooking your pizza.
Just what I was thinking
Wow, it's smart idea, thank you
That's what I do w this and similar recipes. I remove a cup or so to use immediately on pasta, nachos or steamed veggies, then reduce the agar/water mix proportionally to finish the firm cheeze.

I'm so glad that you like it as much as I do... and that your 4 year old likes it ❤️
why is every single vegan cooking channel I've found this week adorable???
I just was told not allowed to have any dairy and I came across your site . Love everything I saw. Defiantly your follower.
+Dragana Prlenda Welcome to the channel x
thank you sweetheart :)
HI Anja. I just made your smoked paprika cheese. The cheese is so delicious! I cannot believe how easy the recipe was to pull together. This is by far the best vegan cheese recipe I have made. I also used the mixture as a sauce poured over steamed cauliflower. I put all the cheese ingredients together, blended them together but did not add the water/agar . Again, delicious! I can't wait to try another one of your cheese recipes.
I just made the recipe and its perfect. I wasn't sure I would have anything left in the blender before adding the agar....omg, so good. This would be a perfect cheese soup. I can't wait until the cheese is set and ready. Great recipe.
+Kim Kittrell Glad you like it as much as I do :-)
Wow wow wow! I just made this with my boyfriend and we love it! Also, adding just a dash (1/4 tsp) of cayenne pepper along with the other spices helps bring out the flavors. FYI the texture of the cheese once cooled is not like dairy cheese. It feels more like jello. However, it melts pretty well as we found out in a grilled cheese sandwich. Thank you so much for this recipe!
+Beatle214 You need more agar powder or cook it a bit longer to activate it for it to set firm :-)
+CookingWithPlants thanks for the reply! I have a follow up question. Is it possible to overcook it as well? 😅
Beatle214 I don't think so. It just goes quite thick after a while. It's much more likely to be undercooked than overcooked.
I like this too as it has not oils in it. Thank-you good recipe for vegans.
Hey I just wanted to say I love you and thank you for going out of your way to help newbie vegans like myself!! I'm literally just trying to get as many recipes under my belt to ensure I dont eat the same thing every day lol! Thank you Anja!! :)
Fantastic! Keep up the good work Eli... I'm prouf of you and so glad I can help :-)
I prefer to serve it as hot or cold chees sauce! So I don't add Agar Agar and just eat it right after blending or heat it up in the ofen. Love it!
Yes, I love using it as a sauce too :-) x
Got my agar agar powder, smoked paprika and am marinating a roasted pepper as we speak...can't wait!
Awesome!!!
How was it?
Thank you I have to find the ingredients and I'm so excited to make this I do miss cheese.
Can't wait to try! I bet it would be great with either jalepeno peppers added or instead of the red bell pepper a chipotle pepper.
You are a genius! This works beautifully. I did only 2 substitutions, plus I have a suggestion for others. Substitutions: My husband is not allowed oil in any form so I simply roasted a red bell pepper in the oven instead of using one that had been in oil & vinegar as noted in the video. The second substitution was to bake the sweet potatoes as I wanted to maximize the sweetness and in this part of the world baking is preferred over steaming to accomplish that task. As they say, to each their own. Suggestion: I tasted this mixture in the blender before I started the agar agar in the water. The flavor was fantastic! Just as a cheese sauce for anything, especially baked tortilla chips for the ever-popular nachos for parties, this would be very hard to beat. Thank you for both - the wonderful "cheese" and the immediate use as a sauce without the need for the agar agar process.
Thanks for your feedback Jane. So glad you like it. I try not to add any oil to my recipes so the chargrilled peppers I had were only marinated in vinegar, salt and sugar brine (no oil) but making it yourself is even better :-) Well done and thanks for your comments. I loved the base sauce too for mac and cheese or grilled cauliflower etc
I have now taken the sauce base and used it on sliced baked potatoes and then heated, to make the most delicious scalloped potatoes! I think nachos are the next experiment. I have given samples of the "cheese" to omnivore friends and they loved it, too. It seems to be a hit from every direction!
Jane Madden Fantastic Jane! It's such a versatile recipe and I'm glad your omnivore friends like it too!!! Would love to see some photos of your creations xx
This is the healthiest and most affordable vegan cheese recipe I've seen. And it looks wonderful! Can't wait to try it!
Enjoy!
AMAZING RECIPE!!! Also, can I skip the Agar and just use the mix as a cheese dip?
Other people have stated that they used it as a macaroni and cheese sauce so I think it would work.
I'm baaack! I just wanted to let you know that I did just this evening make another batch of the better-than-cheddar cheese using the proper amount of agar flakes this time - and with amazing results. Because I like to experiment in the kitchen, this time I added a tiny bit flavoring from black truffle - just a bit - and because I didn't have smoked paprika I used a good Hungarian paprika and added almost a cap full of liquid smoke. The flavor is so divine, I wish I could send you a chunk. Be well, and thanks again for sharing. :)
Great to hear from you :-) So glad it turned out and I'm glad you played with the flavors. Glad you enjoyed it!!!
That's absolutely AWESOME. I just did it today almost after 6 years you put this recipe on this channel. Thank you for creating and sharing with us such a delicious vegan cheese recipe. Kudoos from Canada.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great recipes! It's been one of the first recipe channels that I've been interested in lol
We should have a lunch at your place in future!
Thanks Jason :-) I've had many people wanting me to cook for them lol I've even been told I do better pizzas than Mandalas ;-)
I'd believe them that your pizzas are better than Mandalas! :)
Can you use just a red bell pepper that you've chargrilled yourself or does it have to marinated in vinegar?
Ben S. You can just use plain :-)
Turned vegan 3 months ago and love searching / making my own little recipes . I love smoked paprika so much it was getting expensive buying the little spice jars so I sent for a kilo of the stuff!. Will definitely be making this cheese recipe :) thank you!.
I found this recipe this morning, and, luckily, I already had every ingredient on hand. I just took it off the stove, and it is now setting in a plastic container. The agar powder is amazing. It's unreal how non-vegan this cheese tastes, not to mention, the texture is just like cheese. Literally. Fresh off of the stove, it feels and tastes like melted dairy cheese. I love this. I will definitely be doing this again. Thank you! :)
So glad you like this as much as I do x
Made this today - love it! Was worth waiting to order the agar powder. Just had it on toast and grilled it for a few minutes; it browned a little and was really tasty with tomatoes on top. I bought a smoked vegan cheese recently and it was mostly made of coconut oil and soy and I felt yukky after eating it - this is way better. I may make some more and freeze it as the big jar of peppers I bought for it need to be eaten in 3 days!
+artyj135 Fantastic! So glad you like it... and yes, so much better than the commercial ones :-)
I know it's not a fresh vid but i have to say it (after all these years of me watching v-cheese videos and making it myself): You are the only one, who adds REASONABLE amount of nooch, while others used to put not more than 2 or 3 tbsp tops😕 We need a _strong_ 💪cheesy flava for our vegan cheese, people! And 2 tbsp will not make a thing. So nooch it, nooch it.. nooch it like you should!😀
Thank you for the great recipe! I love that this is nearly fat-free. I used agar flakes... I used 8 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of agar flakes, which I allowed to soak in the water for 10 minutes before beginning to cook it. I cooked it for a good 10 minutes thereafter, just to make sure it was completely dissolved. Thanks again! I look forward to trying more of your recipes!
:-) Glad you liked it!
Thanks so much for this recipe. Instead of the oats I used chick peas and fried a red pepper in olive oil with onions and balsamic vinegar before adding to the blender, but it still tasted great. I really enjoy your videos and thanks again. Very much appreciated.
this worked so great, i could not find the yeast, but used other herbs and a bit of garlic and the taste is still great, best toasted cheese sandwich of my life.
+Christiaan Esterhuizen Glad you like it as much as I do :-)
+Christiaan Esterhuizen Which herbs?
+D'antoinette M a bit of thyme and origanum
+Christiaan Esterhuizen thank you for this comment, I am alergic to yeast and was feeling really deprived as I can see it's a fantastic recipe, so I will have a go now without the yeast. I am surprised that it turned out well, yeast gives vegan cheeses the very cheesy taste. However, I will substitute it with some miso which tastes quite cheesy too.
@@LyraLove1 yeast and nutritional yeast are not the same thing
Made this today. It's delicious. Thank you Anya. I only had enough agar agar powder for half the mixture, whoops. I split the cheese mixture and made half solid 'cheese' and the other haf I will use over vegetables pasta or rice. Easy, no fuss recipe.
Awesome! Can someone help me with the bell pepper... exactly how to prepare it? Marinade in vinegar, then grill it?
You can just buy the peppers already roasted in a glass jar, usually in your pickle section in your supermarket. Then if you want, you can take one of the roasted red peppers from the glass jar and soak it in vinegar for a bit.
You rock :) I once bought 3 soy based cheeses and I was NOT impressed (not bad, but just too soy-ish flavour). Also they were like super expensive (there aren't many vegan options where I live). I am thrilled to see these cheese recepies from you. Totally subscribed! :) Thank you!
MsLoverPower Glad you like the recipes and channel :-)
CookingWithPlants Okay, it took me some time, but I finally made it. I made it with regular steamed potato (that's best for baking) and didn't use garlic powder (didn't have any and I'm also afraid it might "burn" me, as raw garlic "burns" me (too much stomach acid afterwards), but raw onion doesn't). I also used hot paprika instead of smoked, added 1 tsp of chilli powder and instead of white I used black pepper. I also used 1 tsp of sea salt, but could easily use just 1/2 (I like to keep my salt low). I've also added 1 tsp of sunflower chilli oil with smoke flavor. I must admit this one is a winner (I liked cheeses when I was eating them, but this is way better!). So, how long does this last in fridge? THANK YOU AGAIN! :)
MsLoverPower about a week in the fridge :-)
CookingWithPlants OK, thanks :) I don't think it'll last that long, as I ate 1/3 now, LOL :D
hi. i am going to try this and thank you so much. i have been looking for a recipe without cashews forever
Excellent :-)
I tried the recipe yesterday and love the cheese! There are quite some shops in London that sell vegan cheese, but the products all contain lots of fat. Your cheese is a great alternative for everyone who lives according to Dr. Campbell's nutrition suggestions.
Glad you like it as much as I do :-)
Ive got to say, out of all the vegan cheese videos Ive ever seen, this is the one Im most excited to try! I didnt think you could make it without oil or nuts - THANKYOU!!! :-)
How was it?
beautifully done.
Thank you so much 😀
I want to thank you for this awesome recipe, it's a great option to the nut based fermented cheeses I usually make, and quicker and cheaper than the plant yogurt fermented cheeses too! Nice to have a variety and choice, great job!
Glad you like the recipe Char :-)
Tried this today and wow! I can't believe it's nut free and low fat. I probably need to work on the consistency next time. Mine was just a bit soft because I panicked and thought the agar agar looked too think so I added more water. It has still kept it's form though and didn't affect the taste at all. Was amazing! Thank you so much :-)
Awesome, glad you like it :-)
I'm so pleased with this recipe. Now I can enjoy my food again thank you!
You are so welcome!
I really want to make this, but not sure what the UK measurements would be? I think I have converted it correctly or there about for UK. Does this look ok? Does it have to be really precise? I know Australian measurements are slightly smaller than UK tbsp, and had to change cups to grams.
• 250 ml water
• 90g oats
• 250g sweet potato, steamed until soft
• 1 whole roasted red peppers, marinated in vinegar
• 115g nutritional yeast
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 2.5 tsp celtic sea salt
• 0.5 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 250ml water extra for over top of mixture in blender
Agar Agar thickener:
• 330ml cups water
2.5 tbsp + 1 tsp agar agar powder
Thanks for your help! Cannot wait to they this :)
+Saffa McGlynn If you go to my website it converts it for you. Cups I use are 250 ml, tbs I use are 20ml and tsps. I use are 5ml :-)
Thanks, I can see the recipe is in Metric on your site. So with the dry ingredients, do you measure out in ml? So it would work if I poured the Nutritional yeast into a measuring jug to the 125ml line? Same with 250ml of Oats and Sweet potato? Thanks so much for your help! Hopefully it goes well, planning to make it tomorrow :)
Saffa McGlynn Yes that should work fine :-)
Best recipe ever! I've just made it and it turned out amazing as a spaghetti souse !! The only thing i will adjust is the salt as it is too salty for my taste. Tomorrow tortilla wrap with the cheese and some grilled veggies. Yummm
Fantastic!!! Glad you like it as much as I do :-)
omg!!!! That is the easiest recipe that I've seen cant wait to try. i did try the cauliflower taco meat and made tacos with fresh tortillas. my kids didnt even knew that it was cauliflower. all they were doing was enjoying the food. thanks soooo much.
Enjoy x
I just tried it an it is really amazing! I am so happy, you are great, thank you for the recipe! I will be following you now.
+Anna Evans Thank you so much for your lovely comment :-) And so glad you are now following xoxox
Nice looking recipe, I have heard a lot of folks recently mention nutritional yeast as being used for "cheese" type of dishes. That spread of food you had at the end looked delicious.
Thank you :-)
CookingWithPlants you're welcome :)
I made this years ago and it was AMAZING! Something went wrong though- not sure if I didn't leave the agar agar on the heat long enough or didn't add enough, but it turned out with a softer texture... more like a cream cheese. I used it as a spread for my bread though and it was seriously addictive! Must give it another try. 🙌
I think I added some dill to the mixture too and it tasted incredible with the smoked flavour of the cheese!
It sounds like not enough of the agar powder... glad it still tasted good though :-)
I love dill... perfect!
I don’t have a problem with nuts or soy but was sooooo hoping to get an alternative cheese recipe. You made it happen. Thank you so much. 🌱😁🌱
I just bought your book in digital form. I am very surprised that it took me this long to come across your channel; I've been looking for just this kind of cooking: limited oil/nuts, flavorful, quick and easy, and most importantly, sustainable.
I am so glad that I found you, thanks!
+SputnikTripulator Welcome :-) x
I'm looking forward to giving this recipe a go. Looks great.
Hope you enjoy
Ok dang-I wish I had read the comments here before I started! I just put my cheese loaf in the fridge to cool. I was a little concerned since my agar didn't get all thick like your did in the video, but I read the package, which said simmer until dissolved then cool until set, so I'm hoping it comes out well. The taste was magnificent, so if it comes out as soft cheese that will be great, too! I've always appreciated cream cheese on chips or crackers or on a toasted cheese sandwich tomato soup! Thanks for the recipe!
Hope it sets ok :-)
CookingWithPlants Hi again. It didn't set up to the consistency of any kind of cheese - initially it was more like cream cheese when it's been sitting on the counter top a while - but it works on toasted bread. After it had been in fridge a while I notice water in the bottom of the container so I took the remainder of the loaf and put it into cheese close and hung it up over the sink to let the water drain from it -now it's more like a pretty good paneer - talk about adventures in the kitchen. I'm disappointed at all since the learning process was fun. I'm sure the next batch will turn out beautifully.
Wow... lots of adventures there. The two main things are that you need to use agar powder (if using flakes use 3 times the amount) and make sure you cook it long enough so it activates... also make sure NOT to use a lid when setting the cheese as this creates condensation and can make the cheese wet. Good luck with the next batch xx
I'll be happy to let you know - this has been a kick in the pants.
Just made the smoked Paprika, gotta say it's pretty bangin, yum as you say so much lol the Agaar is a lil different in the UK, I used flakes but it turned out ok, so yum, thank you for sharing your yum recipes xo
malakota So glad you like it as much as I do :-) x
Yay! Finally! I was getting so discouraged because I kept seeing all the nut cheeses with cashews 🤢. I'm so glad that there's a different version I can eat without worrying about allergies. Cheese has been the hardest thing to stop eating. I'm looking forward to making this someday soon!
I love all your videos, so inspiring! As a new vegan ( old vegetarian tanks to cheese.... ) I am very exited about all these great recipes you have, thank you so much. I spread you video to every vegan cheese debate I come across, hehe :)
***** Glad you like the recipes :-)
I made this yesterday, and loved the flavour! I couldn't quite get around eating it cold in slices, as I found it a bit rubbery (not sure if that's the word). I tried it in a toasted sandwich with avacado, and it was the best! I think I will freeze the rest, in small portions, to use in sauces, sandwiches etc at a later date. :-) thanks for your creation. Love your channel!
Glad you liked it :-)
Yay! I just bought all the ingredients. I can't wait to make this tomorrow morning! I am Super excited!!! 😁🙏🏼👍🏼
This whole video is nutty. I am sooo trying this!
Girllllll...When I tell you I am so happy I found your darn channel👏👏👏👏🙌..I love we some cheese & to able to make this & not miss out on the greatness of cheese that we all love so much. In doing this with some jalapenos and red onions lol thank you so much for sharing I can't wait to try this
awesome recipe, finally some cheese you can eat without thinking about all the calories and it tates so great! Also you can add so many other stuff to it. Used some really hot chily flakes to get an extra hot taste :)
thanks a lot for this! Best vegan greets from germany
Sascha JayDee I am so glad you like it 😃 danke
That's one beautiful chopping board you have there at the end. Almost way too nice to use! :)
+Ronson Dalby Thank you x
This is recipe is much more accessible than most vegan cheeses. Soy and nuts are both expensive where I live, but I can definitely get the ingredients for this!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it came out great. My nephew loved it! For Christmas, I'm going to eliminate the agar and try to make a baked macaroni and cheese.
Fantastic!!! :-)
CookingWithPlants Just got done with the mac'n cheese test run. My boyfriend (NOT vegan) really loved it!!! He's also a really picky eater so you can tell your "cheese" recipe is AWESOME! Thanks!
JoAnna Wheaton That's fantastic news!!!! woop woop :-)
I just tried this. It is wonderful. I subbed the smoke paprika for smoker serrano (this is what I had on hand) it still came out great and spicy. Also I found agar agar powder at an Asian grocery story for way cheaper than buying it online in case anyone is looking. I am in the US. Thanks again for this recipe. So happy and trying to be vegan faithfully. Thanks again love your channel.
Awesome... so great to hear :-)
Made this cheese today and it came out yummy! I used a non-stick loaf pan as a mold :) Thanks!
Fantastic :-) Glad you like it!!!
Rosemarie Calabro does it taste like cheese
Delicious. Thanks. I used agar flakes instead of powder (had to use 3 times more) and my ordinary blender worked well. I roasted 3 local West Indian seasoning peppers as I had no red bell pepper. Will make this regularly.
Really nice idea, looks great and just what I'm looking for, I'm not sure what the Nutritional Yeast is here in Europe, I think that's the only query, so I need a bit of detective works there, but I plan to give it a try in next couple of weeks in the quest to reduce our impact on the planet and in particular the lives of animals.
Mr Johns It is called "Savoury Yeast" here in Australia if that helps ?!
You can get it from Holland and Barret
+Mr Johns Bjäst, in sweden. but also known as beer yeast. hope it helps even tho I am super late
+Mr Johns Marigold Engevita yeast flakes
+Mr Johns In Italy is called "dry yeast flakes".
Looks fabulous! I was wondering if the first step would even make a great salad dressing or dip? The ingredients sound so good together!
The first step is a great sauce... maybe mac and cheese or over nachos!!
Woah, nut free cheese for the win!
I'm freaking out about this recipe... I've been doing a happy dance ever since I came up with it :-) I just had it in a toasted sandwich with organic brown rice miso paste and hummus... OMG!!!!
CookingWithPlants I ordered the agar powder online and bought smoked paprika and sea salt. Still need the white pepper and sweet potato. Do you marinate the pepper in white vinegar after it's grilled or before? Do you think we could do other types - like a strict cheddar or jalapeno? I'm thinking of making subs like Subway and using this or perhaps some type of bean patty similar to the veggie patty they sell.
Potato Strong I get the marinated ones from the shop and they are just in a vinegar and sugar brine. You could put any flavors you like... I actually ate mine with jalapeno and the chili punch was awesome. Let me know how you go :-)
Potato Strong You could also use regular potato and black pepper... it would just change the flavor a little bit.
I'll be buying those 2 things as I have to wait for the agar agar powder - had to order from amazon and the delivery estimate is at least a week. I don't have a lot of options where I live. Can't wait to try it!
I'm so greatful for all your answers. I tried againg with more cooking, red pepper marinafed in vinegar, more agar-agar still didn't work but is ok ill leave it for now and try again later. I try some other of your recipes and I'm so happy to inform that it was a succes not only in the kitchen but with my friends and family they all loved. All credits to you. ......I'll be back lol
Thank you so much
Wow, that cheese looks amazing! Texture, consistency ...can't wait to try it
...thanks my vegan sister!
Just made it a couple of hours ago. I added 2 tablespoons of unsented coconut oil so that it would melt down easily. Can't wait to eat it tomorrow ! Thanks for this marvellous recipe !
I can't wait to make this, I was so giddy watching this. When you shredded the cheese, omg😍
Enjoy xx
Did you like it?
I love your channel and recipes, Anja. So creative and innovative. We made your pizza recipe before and it was the best vegan pizza ever! You should bring out a recipe book for easier access. Keep up the good work, will be following your channel for sure. Love Brigitte
Thanks Brigitte... I am working on a recipe book :-)
Thanks from one cook to another. I appreciate your recipies, they are great and you do a great job of explaining everything and you also have a delightful presence. This is such a great recipe. No nut vegan cheese. I used a little less water so the flavors wouldn't be diluted. Just enough water that it will mix in my blender. Also I don't have a fancy blender like yours but it worked anyway. The real test will be whether or not my husband likes it! I also used a roasted red pepper and a half a roasted onion and 1 roasted garlic clove instead of the powders. My sweet potato was also roasted. Everything was in the oven yesterday ready for the experiment today. I got the agar agar at a Asian grocery near by also yesterday which gave me a good opportunity to get out of the house for a walk.
Fabulous!!!
Over from Veggie Rose channel, someone suggested she check out your videos for cheese recipes. Thanks for sharing your recipes 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳
That looks so good and you have such happy dancing eyes and can see you so enjoy making foods that are good for you and sharing it with others :-)
Thank you!! Just saw your "make your own cheese" video, and loved your presentation. I can eat soy, though I do have a small allergic reaction, but this will help out for my congregation's Potlucks! (and make me feel better too* ;) )
Enjoy :-)
Great recipe! It's the first time I've seen a cheese recipe without nuts. I'll give it definitely a try.
Thank you :-) Yes, I was very excited when I came up with a nut free cheese :-)
Thank you for this great recipe. I tried it yesterday so I wanted to tell you about my experience. I'm from Germany and the agar-agar powder I can buy here doesn't thicken when I cook it. It will thicken though, when I let it cool down in the fridge. But sadly the cheese turned out softer, than in your recipe. I cannot grate or slice it :( So I guess the agar-agar powder you can get here isn't as "strong" as shown in your recipe. But besides this little problem the cheese is delicious and I will give it another try. Just thought it is some useful information for you, because I guess you have other viewers worldwide :) Thank you so much for your great recipes! i really enjoy watching them.
+Tosca Tossorosso Maybe try a bit more agar powder next time :-)
That was incredible!!! A low fat vegan cheese! I can't wait to make it :)
This is excellent! Have you incorporated rejuvelac in this or other "hard" cheese recipes? I'd like to add it but am not sure if it will interfere with the texture or consistency.
C.R. Kasprzyk No, it doesn't need it. I keep my recipes as simple as possible :-)
Thanks!
Will this be good for grilled cheese sandwiches?? I've been looking for a good mock yellow cheese.
Taylor Evans Try it let me know how it is.
This is amazing!! Cut out fake cheeses after learning about oil and how bad it is. Thanks for this! Do you have a cookbook? I'd love to buy one!!
So glad you like it. I have three cookbooks. Check them out at: cookingwithplants.com/buy-my-cook-books/
OMG YOUR AMAZING!! OH MY GOD WHERE HAVE YOU BEEEN - TRIIBLE BIG MASSIVE THUMBS UP! - Ive got a question does it melt back again xx
Thank you
CookingWithPlants Thank you so much, I am allergic to soy and nuts. I went to a Vegan Soul Food restaurant and ordered the mac and cheese. I had the worse reaction to it because of the cashews. I was new to being a vegan, so I had no idea that many of the recipes called for cashews. Thank you so much!
Twanda Smith Glad that this recipe will help you :-) x
I only didn't have a red Pepper...So i grilled frozen pepper onion mix. And i added liquid smoke, siracha, garlic, BBQ powder SEASONING, jalapeno seasoning, rosemary, onion pd, blk pepper, cumin, sage. And i cut the recipe in half to test it. it was good!
Glad you like it and you're improvisations sound great :-)
I just made it for my first time! So excited! I got some problems to with the agar agar to activate it. The trick here was to let it cool down. I was wondering how long it will stay good in the fridge, couple of days/weeks?
Awesome! So glad you made it :-) It will keep for about a week.
CookingWithPlants Ok! Too bad that it's more like cream cheese. I've did something wrong with the agar agar. Maybe I will use something else next time. Maybe arrow root?
The two main things to keep in mind are that you need to use agar powder (if using flakes use 3 times the amount) and make sure you cook it long enough so it activates... also make sure NOT to use a lid when setting the cheese as this creates condensation and can make the cheese wet.
Increeeedible recipe!!! Thank you so much for sharing :) And the video itself is very nice as well, you are such a sweet person :) Big thumbs up + subscription. Greetings from Berlin, Lisa
Danke :-)
I used jalapeños instead of bell pepper. I had Agar Agar flakes that I grinded down in a coffee grinder, still as I cooked the water with Agar, I kept looking at the consistency and kept adding more Agar until it looked like hers in the video. It definitely hardens fast so be ready after blending. I love the flavors, will definitely be a staple in my home.
Yes me too when I change my diet to vegan I have lost 74 pounds. Praise God!
Maria Camila Angel- Yes my life style has been changed by the grace of God. However I do realize that my body is the temple of God 1Corinthians 6:19 Did God give us human bodies to used and abused as we like, or does he expect more? I believe he expect us to care for the body. Also you look great too. Have blessed one😊😇
No, thank VEGETABLES!
AdrienneAce2 - Thank God who made the vegetables.
Barbara Winsor amen
Thank you, science who made the vegetables.
This recipe is amazing! My husband and i just love it and so does the grandkids! I love that its no fat, thank you so much! I shared this recipe with family and friends :)
I'm glad you love it as much as I do :-)
I'm excited for this! My frozen Daiya cheese has been sitting in the freezer for a year because I don't want something high in fat and it has a lot of oil. Now, I can make cheese for others that I can enjoy also.
Enjoy :-)
Abby Nurre You mean high in saturated fat?
daiya was just purchased by big Japanese company that does animal testing..over a year ago. Im off it now.
Hey Anja. I bought the ingredients and I'm ready to try this cheese. I just wanted to ask you how long can the cheese been keeped in thehu fridge? I just started on the vegan diet, almost 3 months now and I love your channel. You are really inspiring and in my opinion the new Vegans need inspiration about great food and how to prepare it. I already unsubscribed a lot of vegan channels here on RUclips because is nothing but animal welfare and abuse. It's pretty irritating and when one is hungry it's not helping 😊 so keep it real as you always do and thank you for all the inspiration.
+Juice it! Thank you for your lovely feedback. So glad you like the recipes and my channel. You can keep this in the fridge for about a week in an air tight container. You can also freeze it but it does taste best fresh :-)
I've tryied it. The taste was great. Unfortunatelly I had agar flakes not the powder and I couldn't get the right texture. Next time :) thanks
Juice it! You need to use about 3 times the amount if using the flakes.
I used 7 table spoons but ...... well next time.
so happy I found your channel! thank you for all the wonderful recipes:)
Welcome and enjoy more recipes to come :-)
No nuts, no tofu, so it's basically fat free! Yay! I've been trying to find a vegan cheese recipe without nuts. Thank you! I like that you post the ingredients in the description too, so we can get an idea ahead of time. Awesome recipe! Love your channel!
I am so excited to try this.
This looks amaaaaazing.... If I wanted to use it as a sauce, could I just skip the agar agar step and use it right from the blender?
Yes :-)
