it adds a buttery quality and makes the texture a little smoother. I think you can leave it out and still get a good result … good luck!

Happy you like! The lecithin imparts a buttery flavor here, but it's not critical to the recipe — you can just leave it out, it will still taste good!

Leila,

Hope you are enjoying your return to solid food! So happy you made the cheese and liked it. I think I am going to try it next time as a queso dip or over nachos, as I agree — it has a more queso-y quality to it.

Enjoy the smoky cashew cheese!

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for your kind words and so glad you like the blog! To answer your question about coconut milk/cashew cream: it all depends on the recipe. I like using coconut milk for cheeses because it is so smooth and firms up evenly. I use cashew cream for sauces and soups. But I do think they could be used pretty interchangeably in most applications!

This was a really interesting cheese sauce. I was a little impatient with the notion of letting it gel overnight–so I drizzled it over the top. I used the leftover cheese sauce to top my salad the next night. It really did have a mild queso taste to it. I imagine you could utilize the cheese sauce for any variation of Mexican recipes too! In a couple days I am going to try making your smokey cashew cheese now that I finally have agar flakes and nutritional yeast. So excited!

I'm in love. I sat down and googled "decadent vegan recipes" because I'm in that comfort food kind of mood, and boy did I find what I was looking for! I LOVE that you make your own gooey, cheesy, bacon-y, sausage-y components instead of always using the packaged stuff. Totally diving into one of your recipes tonight, as soon as I can narrow it down!

From what I've seen, you use coconut milk/cream as your creamy ingredient. Out of curiousity, do you have an opinion one way or the other on the use of cashew cream? Is it simply a matter of preference?

Thanks so much, from a new subscriber!

Jennifer

Any vinegar that has a little tang to it will probably work okay. Coconut vinegar is good — I've heard mixed reviews on using apple cider vinegar from others (which I haven't tried out yet.) good luck!
