![]() Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Warm the sauce on low in a small saucepan on the stovetop. For a thinner sauce add more water and for a thicker sauce add more cashews. I decided not to serve this crusted with the pistachios and instead served it packed into a ramekin because I thought it tasted perfectly cheesey (almost like my memories of Boursin) as it was. Pour the cashews into the blender or food processor along with the water, garlic, salt, nutritional yeast, and blend or process until smooth. I also couldn’t find my cheesecloth so I used a very thin woven linen tea towel and that worked perfectly. (It seemed very wet when I put it in the cloth.) It ended up working out perfectly though, so don’t worry if your cheese seems too wet/runny right away! ![]() When I went to make the cheese I was concerned this would make the finished product too wet. I accidentally ran out of time the first day I wanted to make this so left the cashews soaking overnight. There’s really barely any hands on time! It’s all in the food processor and then into a cheesecloth! ![]() Lots of people asking for the recipe.ĭon’t hesitate to make this because of the time. The majority of the crowd wasn’t vegan and they all loved it. I made this for my daughter’s birthday and it was a huge hit. Add the juice of one lemon for tang typical of the dairy version and 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast, the darling ingredient of any vegans pantry, for cheesy flavor. I’ve also updated the written recipe for this cashew cheeseball with a large version and a smaller version with slightly different amounts of ingredients. To make cashew ricotta, start by soaking 1½ cups of cashews in 1 cup of water for 2 hours or up to overnight, then drain and place them in a blender or food processor. Plus if you already take probiotics on the regular, then you have exactly what you need in the fridge! It’s activated by the fermented miso paste in the mixture and works its bacteria magic in the first phase when the cheese is sitting in a slightly warm/room temperature environment. NOTE: you don’t have to use the vegan probiotic, but this is what will help give it more of a “cheesy flavor”. I’m a huge fan of dips and foods you can put on a crackers and breads, and this recipe definitely trumps most spreads! So try out this recipe for a pistachio crusted cashew cheeseball, it’s super delicious and you will be very impressive if you serve this at your next dinner party! and going on a binge, I thought “it can’t be that hard!”. But after purchasing a few different brands of nut cheeses in the U.S. I never wanted to venture down the road of making my own vegan cheese. ![]()
