This vegan cheese tastes like the real thing. It's a delicious and healthy alternative to cheese made with 9 ingredients in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups potatoes (peeled and diced, any type will do, but Yukon gold works best)
  • 1 cup carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil or steam the potatoes and carrots for about 20 minutes or until soft.

  2. 2

    Drain them and add them to a blender. 

  3. 3

    Add all the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Serve your vegan cheese immediately with tortilla chips, crudités, pita bread, or spread over a slice of vegan bread. You could also use it to make a vegan grilled cheese sandwich!

  5. 5

    Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. I usually transfer the frozen container to the fridge the night before, that way it defrosts by itself. I reheat it in a saucepan and add some water, vegetable stock, or unsweetened plant milk if needed. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through.
