      Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    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.

    Loved by all (including non vegan guests).

    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!!
