Vegan Muenster cheese

From The Cheesy Vegan book:

 


I made this Muenster cheese, which doesn't taste like the real Muenster... of course! but it tastes good for me and my family. The most important thing is that... is healthy!!!

It is a mild, smooth and soft cheese good for slices. 

Ingredients:
  • 1 TB canola oil
  • 1 TB non smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 1 tsp agar powder
  • 7 TB vegan cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • juice of a medium lemon
  • 2 TB tahini
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dry mustard (such as Colman's)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground coriander
Directions:

Rub the canola oil around a 3 cup container with a tight cover. Sprinkle the paprika all over the container. 

In a small saucepan, combine water with agar and bring to a boil.

In the meantime, mix all the rest of the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.

Pour the mixture into the saucepan and blend with a immersion blender until smooth.

Pour this final mixture into the oiled container and refrigerate, uncover for 90 minutes. Cover the container and chill overnight. 

To serve, invert the container over a plate. Slice the cheese and serve. Leftover will keep refrigerated and covered for about 1 week. 

Enjoy!
