Choosing to go off dairy need not mean giving up on your love for cheese. Here's a very simple recipe to make cheese without dairy. Use it generously and guilt-free in your favourite recipes! Is ideal for making cheesy sauces, dips and spreads or can even be used on baked dishes and will brown slightly when baked.

Ingredients

Raw Cashew - 1 Cup (Soaked for 6 to 8 hours)
Rock salt - ½ tsp

Method

Drain out the water from the cashews.
Put them in the blender and blend in to a smooth paste, adding little water.
Now, put this cashew paste in a glass container and leave it to ferment. It may take 8-24 hours to ferment, depending upon the temperature. Wait until it smells sour.
Once fermented, add salt to it and mix well.
Refrigerate to store. Stays good for about 10 days.

Wellcure Tip

While putting the cashew paste to ferment, choose a container that has enough space to accommodate the rising of the cheese.
Fermentation time varies depending upon the climate/temperature of the place. Do keep a check on it after I 8 hours. Once sour, it needs to be refrigerated.

Eating Guide:

Food group: Nuts
Great replacement for dairy-based cheese.
