Cashew cheese

This nut cheese is an excellent option for a keto diet. It is easy to prepare and can be used in various dishes. Here are all the necessary ingredients:

• Cashews (160 g)
• Blanched almonds (80 g)
• Lemon juice (20 g)
• Water (600 g) or (300 g of water and 300 g of milk)
• Agar-agar (8 g)
• Refined coconut oil (100 g)

Preparation Steps

Start by preparing the nuts. Almonds need to be peeled and soaked together with the cashews for 1-2 hours, or ideally overnight.

This will help improve the texture and taste of the cheese.

Also, pre-melt the coconut oil so that it is ready to use.

Cooking

First, drain the water from the nuts and place them in a blender. Add lemon juice (20 g) and blend until smooth.

In a separate saucepan, combine water (600 g) with agar-agar (8 g) and bring to a boil. Once the mixture boils, remove it from the heat and pour it into the nuts with lemon.

Now blend everything together until you achieve a smooth consistency. Meanwhile, pour in the melted coconut oil (100 g) and continue blending until all components are combined.

Transfer the resulting nut “cheese” to a separate container, cover it with plastic wrap in contact, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. After that, your cheese is ready.
