Cashew “Raw”cotta: Vegan Cheese

Going vegan doesn’t mean giving up the good stuff! You can make your own “cheese” out of nuts. This cashew rawcotta recipe shows you how!

When you can make your own “cheese” out of nuts, there is truly nothing better. You can’t imagine how easy it is to replace dairy with good old nuts (or seeds). The benefit is you are crafting something that is totally dairy-free, free of preservatives, and totally natural. Cashews have that same mouthfeel as cheese, as they provide a creamy texture and a delicious flavor, especially when you make it salty! If you are allergic to nuts, you can also use hemp seeds or sunflower seeds.

This rawcotta will last a few days in the fridge, and you can add it to pizza, zucchini noodles, gluten-free pasta, salad, or even raw crackers. Also, be sure to add in different herbs and spices to get the flavor just the way you want it.
