Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup raw cashews
2 tablespoons non-dairy yogurt starter
2 teaspoons xanthan gum powder
4 cups water
1 tablespoon salt, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
4 tablespoons agar-agar flakes
1 cup tapioca starch
1 ½ cups refined coconut oil

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, non-dairy yogurt starter, xanthan gum, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the "cheese" 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.
  • Return the mixture to the blender. Add the salt, apple cider vinegar, agar agar flakes, tapioca starch, and coconut oil. Blend until smooth.
  • Fill a large bowl with water and salt generously. Stir to dissolve the salt, then add ice. Set aside.
  • Transfer the "cheese" mixture to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to pull together, 3-5 minutes.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, scoop golf ball to baseball-size pieces of the mixture into the ice water. Allow the "mozzarella" balls to sit for 30 minutes, until they have firmed up and become stretchy.
  • Store in salt water in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Enjoy!
