Steps:
- Prepare a glass, ceramic, or silicone mold and have it ready to pour the cheese into when you are done. (I spray mine with a little oil to help it come out easier, but it's not necessary).
- Add a 13.5 oz can of coconut milk (or another cheese base), 1/4 cup of warm water, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast, 4 tsp agar agar, 1/2 tsp garlic.
- Heat the cheese sauce over medium heat until it begins to boil.
- Turn down the heat until it is just barely bubbling and allow to boil for 5 minutes while stirring frequently.
- Add 2 tbsp plus 1 tsp (or 7 tsp.) tapioca starch to 1/4 cup of cold water and stir until it dissolves.
- Add the starch and water mixture to the boiling cheese sauce and stir it in with a whisk and cook for an additional 1 minute. (Your cheese will become very thick and stretchy).
- Pour into a glass container and allow to cool uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before shredding.
- Store covered in an air-tight container for 5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.

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!
