Tips and Tricks:

  • To get the most out of your blender, start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed as the ingredients blend. This will help prevent the blender from overheating and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
  • You can use any mold you want to shape the cheese. A silicone mold is preferable because it makes it easier to remove the cheese.
  • This recipe does not need oil, and only when the ingredients are ready and transferred to the cheese container can you slightly grease the bottom so that it does not stick to the container.
  • When pouring the mixture into the mold, tap it gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles and make it more compact
  • If you’re short on time, you can speed up the soaking process by pouring boiling water over the seeds and letting them sit for an hour or two.
  • Don’t be afraid to play around with the consistency of your cheese spread. Adding more or less water can make it thicker or thinner, depending on your preference.

– If you prefer a creamier texture, add more water or plant-based milk while blending the ingredients.
– If you want firmer cheese, add more agar or let it sit in the refrigerator longer.

  • If you want to add extra flavor to your vegan cheese, try experimenting with different herbs, spices, or even nutritional yeast.

– feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile that suits your taste buds. To create a unique taste, you can add rosemary, thyme, oregano, or even paprika.

– You can experiment with different spices and herbs to create your own unique flavors, or even try making other types of seed-based cheeses or tofu.

– To add a more robust and smoky flavor to your cheese spread, try using smoked paprika or chipotle powder instead of smoked powder.
– If you don’t have smoked powder, you can use smoked paprika or liquid smoke to add a smoky flavor to the cheese spread.

– You can add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor

– be patient and let the cheese harden in the fridge for at least three hours before enjoying it.

  • This seed cheese can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
