Tips for making this vegan cashew spreadable cheese
This recipe for spreadable cheese works great when spread on top of crackers or even bread.
However, this is also a great dip to set beside a vegetable tray or with some chips on the side.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- Refrigerating this dip is essential to thickening the ingredients. This vegan cheese may even be sliceable if refrigerated long enough before using.
- If this spreadable cheese seems too thick you can easily thin it out. Simply blend in small amounts at a time of oil and water.
- While this is great vegan cheese idea for dipping in and spreading on to food, there are other options for serving as well. One option is to use it as a pasta sauce.
You may be wondering how do you soften cashews quickly.
Cashews are used in this recipe to create a texture that is similar to cheese such as cream cheese.
Then the softened cashews can be used in recipes such as this one.
Cashews can be soaked in water overnight for softening.
However, an even quicker way to soften cashews is to boil water, turn the heat off, add the cashews to the water cover the pot, and allow the cashews to sit for 30- 40 minutes. You will need to drain the water, rinse the cashews, and drain again before adding the softened cashews to this recipe.
