trying changing the cheese base of cashews to almonds to experiment with different bases.

trying rejuvelac recipes made with several different types of grains.

fermenting the cheese with yogurt instead of rejuvelac.

#VEGAN FERMENTED CASHEW CHEESE RECIPE CRACKED#

for more of a presentation, you could roll the cheese log or cheese balls in herbs, cracked pepper, or sliced nuts like almonds or seeds.Other interesting ideas to change the way this cheese behaves on the tastebuds could be: dill could add an interesting zing to a fermented cheese the way it does with pickles.Italian herbs like oregano, basil, or thyme.

Herbs or spices that you could add to this recipe could maybe include: chopped dried fruit like apricots or cherries.chopping up some of my lacto-fermented hot peppers and tossing them in for a pepper jack.I could definitely imagine making more interesting flavors with this basic vegan cheese recipe like maybe some of the following other ingredients: The kids weren’t so sure about it but most people who tried it found it very good with that deep cheesy flavor. I brought this to a family gathering, set it out on a wood platter with a knife, and surprisingly it took the place of a traditional gourmet cheese very well being served on bread or crackers. It starts off as what could be considered a cheese dip, then moves on to a slightly more solid state but with a center that’s soft like a brie, and then finally with enough time turns into a solid mass very reminiscent of a cheese log or a cheese wheel if you desire to shape it that way. This fermented cashew cheese can be used in several different ways. The secret to the funkiness lies in the rejuvelac (sprouted grain drink) which ferments the blended cashews into a tangy ball or log (however you’d like to shape it) of goodness. A few posts back when I had given out the rejuvelac recipe, what I was actually doing is making the precursor to what would become a nice, flavorful, non-dairy cheese log.
