Vegan Brie Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: raw cashews, plain, unsweetened, non-dairy yogurt, refined coconut oil, nutritional yeast, salt, water, tapioca flour, agar-agar flakes

Provided by Merle O'Neal

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup raw cashews
½ cup plain, unsweetened, non-dairy yogurt
½ cup refined coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
2 tablespoons tapioca flour
1 teaspoon agar-agar flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil. Add the cashews and boil for 30 minutes, then drain.
  • Add the boiled cashews, yogurt, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the "brie" mixture to a large bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let sit at room temperature, or between 72º-90ºF (22˚-32˚C), for 12-16 hours.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add tapioca flour and agar agar flakes. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 5 minutes.
  • Line an 8-inch (20-cm) round baking dish with cheesecloth and pour in the hot cheese mixture. Cover with the cheesecloth. Let cool in the refrigerator until firm, 4-8 hours.
  • Remove the cheesecloth. Eat right away or place the cheese on a wire rack and refrigerate for up to 36 hours (cheese will become drier the longer it waits).
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Enjoy!
