Plant Cheese Recipe For Sandwiches or Pizza

Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Nutritional Yeast Free Delicious Cheese That You Can Make A Sanwdich With Or Melt On A Pizza Crust!

So simple to make and tastes delicious. Thank you! – Tati Aralova.

Recently I found a cheese recipe book with a guide on how to make a plant based cheese on The Hidden Veggies website and since all cheeses there were made with nutritional yeast (something that I avoid in my diet, because it contains MSG) I decided to try to make my own cheese following that guide!

So this is what I came up with, hope you’ll enjoy the recipe! The result reminds me of Violife cheese, but without nasty ingredients, like "flavourings", which is also a hidden source of MSG. This cheese is good for sandwiches or, if you add tapioca starch, you can use it for pizza or wraps and it will melt. And while it’s definitely not an everyday food, you can make it occasionally as a treat or for picnics or special occasions.
