Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp agar agar
Equipment
- High speed blender or food processor
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Container for setting
Instructions
- Add all the cashews, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, tapioca flour, lemon juice and garlic powder to a high speed blender or a food processor. Make sure to wash the cashews thoroughly before using them.
- Blend until very smooth, then pour into a saucepan over a medium heat. Stir with a whisk, and gradually add the agar agar, around 1/2 tbsp at a time.
- Continue whisking until it gets thick and stretchy - this usually takes around 5 minutes.
- You can either serve it as it is, or transfer to a container of your choice and leave to set in the fridge for around two hours.

Notes
If you are using a high speed blender, instead of soaking the cashews you can cook them in a saucepan for 15 minutes.
