SOY-FREE, NUT-FREE, GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN CHEESE⎜READY IN 10 MINUTES

After a lot of experimenting, fermenting, blending, and countless failed results trying to make the perfect cheese, I have decided that sometimes the best thing is to go back to basics and that's exactly what I did here. Potatoes. That's it. And there you have it, melty, soft, tangy, silky, delicious! Oh, and have I mentioned, Hassle-free? So I hope you guys enjoy this amazing vegan cheese as much as I do!
Cheers!

MY SECRET SOY-FREE, NUT-FREE, GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN CHEESE⎜READY IN 10 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

2 - 3 large cooked starchy potatoes (approx. 2 cups of mashed potatoes)
2 tablespoons of lemon
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (or less)
1 tablespoon of green olives
1 tablespoon of the olive's brine
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons of sour starch or tapioca starch
2 tablespoons of cornstarch

METHOD:

Blend the olives, the olive brine, the plant-based milk, and the olive oil until smooth. Set aside.
In a food processor, add the remainder of the ingredients plus the previously blended ingredients, except for the sour starch and the cornstarch; process everything until smooth. Add the sour starch and the cornstarch, process it a little bit, only enough for the starches to get incorporated into the mixture.
Add the processed mixture to a pot on medium heat and stir for 5 minutes. Transfer the cheese mixture into a previously greased mild, cover, let it cool until room temperature then put it in the fridge for 4 hours.

My mom literally hates vegan cheese! She secretly tried this one after I made it for Christmas, but she had to come clean: she said it is one of the tastiest vegan things she ever tried. According to her, it tastes exactly like cheese. Thank you Jana!!

[angieweisswange]

Just made this! I cannot stop eating it! It's the very best tastiest vegan cheese I've had since becoming vegan 2 years ago. I cannot believe it! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I CANNOT SHOUT THIS LOUD ENOUGH ALL THE WAY FROM SOUTH AFRICA! I HOPE YOU CAN HEAR ME??

[petrfrizen]

...pickled olives give the tanginess to the flavor. The cheesy taste. Very innovative and well thought. Thank You so much, Jana!

This cheese recipe is insanely delicious. Omg I’ve had such horrible experiences with making vegan cheese; it’s always been gross, horrible texture, or made of ingredients a poor college student like me couldn’t easily access. I really appreciate how this is made of cheap and accessible ingredients. I just love how delicious this was! It made me subscribe haha.
I also made this cheese with some substitutions. I forgot to peel the potatoes, I used coconut milk, coconut oil, and I omitted the olives and brine. I couldn’t stop eating this. It does melt, but it’s not as stretchy as real cheese, and crisped up under a broiler. One thing I will say is that I wish she would have demonstrated how the finished product melted and stretched.

Thank you Chef Jana ! We can never get too many vegan cheese recipes from you, the slight variations appeal to different tastes and different meals. Around me store bought vegan cheese is VERY EXPENSIVE - not only do we save money, but we also get to control the ingredients. We appreciate YOU 😁

[juliedesnick]

I've never seen a vegan cheese that looks so authentic. I will try it.

[sharonspoetrycorner.]

The BEST vegan channel on YouTube! 👏👏👏👌

[Musicismylove]

[liag]

Oh my this cheese tasted insanely so cheesy after a week in the fridge. Amazing, ! Thanks Chef Jana ❤️

[Slastukin]

Great idea for those with cashew allergies. I love to see a nutless vegan cheese recipe!

[geenesmern]

I want to try this cheese recipe too, especially because it melts and has olives!

[Butterflyneverlands]

We now have a big variety of wonderful vegan cheeses, such as Miyoko’s, Violife, Chao and others BUT I’m so making this cheese recipe for the fun, I’m sure for the taste and it looks inexpensive. LOVE IT!

[marellyrivas]

Hi Jana, I don’t have much experience making vegan cheese, I have made like at least 2 or 3, recipes from internet and I must say that this is by far the best tasting vegan cheese I have tasted so far. I’m very pleased 😀 and exited to try your other recipes. I was very happy to see that there were no fancy ingredients, thank you for that !! 👍🏼

[mirandamom]

The olives took me by surprise— intriguing!

[lizchaverri]

Thank you so much! This is amazing. I added liquid smoke the second time I made it and it was delicious as well!

[brenda]

Jana, hello - just now found your recipe. I have a very bad heart so can't have any cheese or other dairy due to the high cholesterol, and a kidney condition so can't have any nuts or soy product. I was so sad believing I had to give up cheese! Now I don't have to, this is perfect! Thank you so much, I can't wait to try it!!! Perhaps I'll try adding some very thinly sliced olives into the cheese before it sets up for color. :D

[sherilynhayes]

You’re so special. Thank you for all your terrific recipes. We all love and enjoy.

[Ahavah__x]

How do you even discover this! This is amazing!

[Razevixen]

Had a hearty laugh at your look at all the fks I give fridge magnet😆😂 can't wait to try this cheese recipe! Looks amazing and simple!🙏thanks jana

[truthbetold]

Dear Jana, after watching you for two years I finally made my first vegan cheese sauce using glutenous rice flour for stretchiness and salt brine from my fermented vegetables for umami flavor. Not bad at all!! Thank you for the inspiration : )
