People ask what is vegan Parmesan cheese made of.

Obviously, vegan Parmesan cheese is not made with dairy products.
Instead, vegan Parmesan cheese is made with vegan alternatives to regular non-vegan ingredients.

Most vegan versions of cheeses or creamy sauces have on ingredient in common.

That ingredient is cashews.
Cashews can easily be transformed into a texture that resembles a cheese in recipes such as this one.

You may be wondering how to make Vegan Parmesan Cheese without cashews.

I get that not everyone likes cashews.
Also, when you have been following a vegan diet for a while you see a lot of recipes with cashews in them.

Here is how to make a vegan parmesan cheese without using cashews.

The easiest way to do this is to simply use blanched almond flour instead of cashews. You can use ½ cup of almond flour and then adjust your nutritional yeast to ¼ cup.

This recipe mimics the flaky Parmesan cheese that you see in packets or a shaker type bottle.
It can be used the same way that you would use that flaky Parmesan cheese.

Here are some more great tips for you.

1. This vegan cheese should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It should keep for about two weeks when stored properly.
2. You do not have to make this using cashew nuts! I already told you how to make this with almond flour. However, sunflower seeds can also make a tasty Parmesan alternative too!
3. Personalize this recipe using your favorite seasonings. Seasonings as desired. This can include Italian Seasonings, Mediterranean Diet Seasoning Blend, Greek Seasoning Blend, Salt, and/or Pepper.

You may be wondering if you can melt vegan Parmesan cheese.

This vegan cheese is meant to be used more like a flaky cheese that is used as a topping.

• Popcorn topping.
• Pizza Topping.
