Say hello to this holiday-inspired vegan cheese platter! Don’t you want to serve this at your next holiday gathering!? Cheese platters are a must during the holiday season because they always look so festive, fancy and enticing. Being plant-based, however, often means that 50 percent of the real estate in these platters are taken over by cheese! Such a drag. Now we can make them vegan!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp. Onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp. Psyllium husk, optional, to help with binding

  • 3 tbsp. Nutritional yeast

  • 2 tbsp. Apple cider vinegar

  • 1 Lemon, juiced

  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced

  • 2 cups Raw cashews, soaked overnight

Method

  • 01
    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.
  • 02
    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).
  • 03
    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.
  • 04
    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.
  • 05
    To serve, unwrap from cheesecloth and gently invert onto a serving platter. Enjoy with fresh-cut vegetables, fruits, and crackers.
