Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cashews (soaked in boiling water)
- 3 tbsp refined coconut oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½-1 tsp salt
Coating/Topping
- ¼ cup dried craisins or cranberries
- ¼ cup pecans
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
Instructions
- Cover the cashews in boiling water and allow them to soak for at least 10 mins.
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, add soaked cashews, coconut oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, miso, garlic powder and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Stir in 1 tbsp of thyme into the cheese mixture.
- Cover a small bowl with plastic wrap, and place your cheese mixture into the centre. Grab the corners of the plastic, bring them together and gently twist to form a ball shape.
- Allow the cheese to harden for a few hours in the fridge. (Overnight is even better!)
- To prepare the coating, finely chop your pecans and dried cranberries. Mix them together with 1 tbsp of fresh thyme.
- When ready to serve, roll your cheese ball carefully in the coating. Serve with your favourite crackers, veggies or bread and enjoy!
