Method
Step 1
Drain soaked cashews and add to a food processor along with minced garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, psyllium husk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Place a fine-mesh strainer (or colander) over a large mixing bowl, and lay down two layers of cheesecloth (or a clean, fine, absorbent towel).
Step 3
Scoop cashew mix onto cheesecloth, then gather the corners and twist the top gently to form the cheese into a "disc." Secure with a rubber band.
Step 4
Place cheese in refrigerator to set for at least 6 hours, preferably 12 hours or overnight, until excess moisture has been wicked away, and it holds its form when released from the cheesecloth.
Step 5
To serve, unwrap from cheesecloth and gently invert onto a serving platter. Enjoy with fresh-cut vegetables, fruits, and crackers.
