It ain’t easy being cheesy…but it sure can be healthy when the cheese is made with cauliflower!
You may have seen my other delicious plant-based cheese recipe that’s based with potatoes and carrots. This is another creamy and delicious option that’s based with health-building cauliflower.
For any skeptics reading this, let me just say that my sig other (Wayne) is the ULTIMATE dairy lover who doesn’t always buy into my plant-based alternatives. And he LOVES this plant-based cheese so much that I have to cut him off when I make it, so there’s enough left for me!
Let’s dig in!
THE RECIPE
CREAMY PLANT-BASED CAULI CHEESE
~ Makes more than 3 cups ~
Organic Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1 cup of water or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons of onion powder
- 2 teaspoons of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt
- Optional: If you want to make a spicy cheese, toss in 2-3 hot peppers.
Ninja Preparation:
- Steam the cauliflower until it’s tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. (I use the “Steam” setting on my Instant Pot for 10 minutes.)
- Put all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and add more spices / seasoning if necessary.
Below is a look at the finished product. This cheese tastes great with bean-based pasta, veggies, crackers and chips.
YUM!
Cheers to enjoying creamy and delicious cheese made entirely with plants!
With love and gratitude,
