Time 16h20m

Yield Two 9-ounce rounds cheese

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups raw peeled cashews
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup organic refined coconut oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
3/4 cup cashew milk
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the cashews in a bowl and cover with 4 cups water. Cover with plastic and soak 8 hours or up to overnight.
  • Drain the cashews and place in a high-powered blender with the lemon juice, coconut oil, salt, white pepper and 1/2 cup cashew milk. Blend the mixture, stirring as necessary. Add the remaining 1/4 cup cashew milk and blend until smooth. Stir in the parsley.
  • Fold the cheesecloth in half and line 2 small bowls with a piece of doubled cheesecloth, leaving enough overhang to cover the cashew mixture.
  • Divide the cashew mixture between the two bowls and cover completely with the cheesecloth. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 8 hours or up to overnight. Serve cold.
