“Cheddar” Cashew Cheese – Sharon Palmer, The Plant Powered Dietitian

*Try smoked salt or flavored salts for added flavor.

This cheese spread is excellent in sandwiches, veggie-burgers, nachos, macaroni & cheese, lasagna, casseroles, and more. Adjust the consistency by decreasing or increasing the plant-based milk you add while blending it.

Create variations of this cheese by folding in additional ingredients, such as kalamata olives, roasted garlic, jalapenos, chopped herbs, or sun-dried tomatoes.

If you want to make a lighter colored version of this recipe, such as a Swiss or Monterey Jack version, just leave out the turmeric.
