Garlic Basil Cashew Cheese

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1/2 cup soaked cashews
2. 2 tsp lemon juice
3. 2 tbsp agar powder
4. 4 tbsp corn starch
5. 2 tsp sea salt
6. 1 tbsp garlic powder
7. 3 tsp dry basil
8. 4 tbsp solid coconut oil
9. 3 cups water

🧀

DIRECTIONS:

1. Add all the ingredients except the basil into a blender and blend until very smooth with no pieces of cashew remaining.
2. Add in the dry basil and pulse a couple of times, until the basil is incorporated into the mixture. We want it to be visible in the cheese, and not completely blended.
3. Pour the mixture into a pot on medium heat and let it thicken, stirring constantly.
4. Once thick, take off the flame and immediately pour into a lightly oiled glass bowl.
5. Let it cool down completely, place it in the fridge and let it set for a couple of hours.
6. Slice/ grate and enjoy!
