About the Recipe

When we first went vegan, this recipe was a lifesaver since we were missing cheese. Nowadays, this is something that tastes good that we like to put on bread.

We typically make a large batch of it and freeze it in small jars. This recipe makes about 4 jars’ worth.

Ingredients

  • 500g cashews

  • 75g nutritional yeast

  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 4 or 5 cloves of garlic

  • 50ml white wine vinegar

  • 350-400ml water

Preparation

  1. Soak the cashews in boiling water for 2 hours or overnight in cold water.

  2. Drain the cashews and add them to a blender with nutritional yeast, mustard, garlic and vinegar. Blend to try and get the cashews as smooth as possible.

  3. Add water 50-100ml at a time; blend until the mixture is a little bit runny (it will set in the fridge).

  4. Divide into jars so that it can be frozen for later.
