      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Method

  1. Place water and Agar Agar into the Closed lid (ensure agar powder is placed directly into water - not on top of blade) and cook for 5 minutes at 90ºC on Speed 3.

     

  2. After cooking, add all remaining ingredients and blend together for 1 minute on Speed 9.

     

  3. Pour immediately into a suitable container or jelly moulds using spatula to assist. If using baking tin, line with plastic wrap.  Allow to cool and then place into refrigerator.  Vegan Cashew Cheese will begin to set at room temperature. 

     

  4. Slice when firm and relish every bite!

    Mixture tastes yummy! I'm sure it will be great! I added about 1 teas of turmeric and 5 leaves of my 5herb plant as I don't eat capsicuim. I also used apple cider vinegar instead of lemon - running short of those! It should be a great recipe to adapt with different flavours! Many thanks!

    This cheese was so quick and easy to make. Plus it was delicious. Being Gluten Free, Dairy Free and allergic to coconut I've really missed having cheese. Now being able to make it myself a whole new world of favourite foods have opened up to me again. Thank you so much. Highly recommend. Easy enough for beginners.

    Great recipe, only change was I added extra nutritional yeast. My non-vegan husband loves it. That speaks volumes.

  •   Used 1 sachet Jell-it-in.

    Submitted by Tziv on 23. May 2016 - 16:27.

     

    Used 1 sachet Jell-it-in. Didn't totally firm up but was thick and spreadable. Doubled quantity of nutritional yeast for more cheesy flavour. Was delicious!!
