New Creamy Vegan White Cheese
Cheese substitutes always come in handy for vegans. There are so many things you can make with cheese! Here is one that is simple and mild, and which you can make yourself!
1/2 block tofu
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
Salt to taste
1 Tbsp.Nutritional yeast (this is not baker's yeast but a special yeast that you can get at specialty stores and health food stores)
4 tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup soy milk (plain)
3/4 Tbsp. onion powder (1 tsp. if you like mild flavor)
1/4 tbsp garlic powder (1/2 tsp. if you like mild flavor)
Pinch turmeric
In a blender, process the almonds, sesame and the milk, adding the rest of the ingredients, till smooth, pour into a saucepan and cook over low heat till it begins to boil, moving constantly so that it will not stick to the pan, about 15 minutes.
If after 15 minutes, it is thick and cooked, scrape into a Pyrex and put in the freezer so that it will solidify. When you prepare the mixture
for the freezer, smooth the top so that it will more easily cut into slices.
This mild white cheese goes well with many dishes, it is also excellent for sandwiches.

That looks like a recipe with all my favourite flavours in - I'll be giving this one a try at home!
