This creamy, perfectly spreadable cashew cheese is a real crowd pleaser. It’s not only very easy to make but also way cheaper than a storebought one. People usually ask me how I fermented it to make it so cheesy.. thing is I didn’t 🙂
Just have it on bread or serve it on a cheese platter with plenty stuff to spread it on, crunchy nuts, sweet dried fruit, vibrant fresh fruit and zingy pickled things. Add vegan charcuterie if you feel like it.
