To make this gut-healing cheese, we used miso—a traditional Japanese seasoning made by fermenting soybeans with salt and Koji, a beneficial fungus. When making vegan cheese or yogurt at home, it’s always best to use real, whole probiotic foods like miso or kefir instead of probiotic pills. Whole foods are more effective, have been trusted for centuries, and offer incredible health benefits that go beyond what supplements can provide.

Probiotic Cashew Cheese Recipe

Prep Time: soaking + fermentation + 10 min | Cook Time: 0 min | Serves: 12

Ingredients

+ 2 cup cashews, raw and unsalted
+ 2/3 cup filtered water
+ 2 tsp miso paste
+ 1 tsp nutritional yeast
+ juice of 1/2 lemon
+ 1 garlic clove

For serving:
+ fresh herbs, roughly chopped
+ freshly ground black pepper
+ paprika

Directions

Soak the cashews overnight or for at least 4 hours. Rinse and place the nuts, water, miso, nutritional yeast, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor. Pulse repeatedly until you get a smooth and thick paste. Cover a colander with cheesecloth and transfer the cashew cream to the colander. Wrap it with the cloth and place something heavy on top, to help drain. Let ferment for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature.

Unwrap from cheesecloth, then gently coat with chopped herbs, black pepper, or your favorite spices. Cashew cheese will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Serve with veggies, fruits or crackers. Enjoy!
