Cream-style cashew cheese
About the recipe
I recently got to make a lot of cashew cheese spreads, I have to admit sometimes I'm falling in love with a new raw material in the kitchen, and it totally happened to me with this lovely nut.
After lots of attempts to make it, I present to you the wonderful recipe for cashew-style cashew cheese, you can change the cheese toppings to your personal taste: green olives, dill and garlic, roasted peppers, chives, and even eggplant!
Preparation
Soak the cashews for at least 24 hours in a bowl with a lid, in plain tap water.
The water should be rinsed and renewed every 6 hours or so.
Drain the cashews from the water, transfer to a blender with all the cheese ingredients.
Blend on short pulses while taking care to remove the remnants of the cashews from the sides of the blender so that everything becomes a smooth spread texture. You may need to run the blender multiple times, depending on its power, I recommend giving it time - the more you grind the cashews the more its texture becomes smoother and smoother.
Transfer the cheese formed in a blender into sterilized glass jars, in each of which add the desired addition, this time I made with fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes.
• tips! * You can make the cheese with natural almonds, just keep in mind that the final taste will be different, no less delicious. * For those who have a food processor or a powerful blender, this cheese will take you very little time {except for the time of soaking the nuts in water}.
