I give this guy a big thumbs up, not only because the recipe is awesome, but also because he delivered it in just over 4 minutes, unlike many videos that drag to 15 and are filled with more fluff than substance. Way to go!

I’m absolutely mind blown!! I just made your recipe. I added lactic acid for a more cheese flavor and although, it’s at the cooling stage, the pieces that have already solidified taste like mozzarella!! I cannot wait to cool, shred and bake!!! Super stoked!

Thanks for the recipe. I substituted the coconut oil with avocado oil and my mozzarella came out perfect !

[pretzelsbuns]

you are correct, this is way better than any vegan cheese that ive bought at the grocery store. thank you for the recipe. this is very good

WOW! Delicious cheese, and makes a lot! 🧀 We are having pizza tonight! My daughter has celiac disease, milk, egg and other food allergies. Cooking anything tasty is a challenge, though I have gotten good at vegan, gluten-free cooking by necessity for many years.

Thank you so very much. Terri in Florida

I'm wary of using carageenan. The general medical consensus doesn't really have a verdict on it just yet, but it's known to be highly inflammatory, and researchers that work closely with the stuff tend to advise caution if not avoiding it entirely.

I get why it's there in this recipe. It forms a smooth, silky gel that melts nicely when heated, sets up quickly when cooled, and doesn't muddy up flavors. But you can get similar results with pectin NH, plus some gellan gum to prevent weeping.

About 1% lecithin (relative to fat and water, so 9–10g in this recipe) can further help emulsify everything silky-smooth.

White pepper helps to give mozzarella a more authentic taste. Try it

I just made that cheese, used agar agar. Mine is half liquid now because I used the amount that was recommend in this video. USE DOUBLE WHEN AGAR AGAR IS IN USE!!! But non the less, I have liquid cheese now, which is no problem. Because that shit is Amazing, best vegan cheese I’ve eaten ever. I’ll piss all over my house now because that shit is so fucking deliclic. That shit yummy.

Hello! I loved this video! Have you tried using agar agar? I have it at home and I could give it a go, but I don’t really know if it can be a good enough substitute for K Carrageenan. Thanks!!

[paddyblake]

Fantastic stuff looking forward to trying this out as I get better and better at making pizzas! One day I will own a blessed Ooni and throw a pizza party unlike any other!

[pinktinkvp]

Thank you so so much for this video and recipe. I made it and it came out great, and tastes and melts like mozzarella. 💖

Oh I need to make this asap. I got a roccbox and with this cheese my pizzas would come out crazy

[Grindgoth]

Excellent cheese recipe. Recipe makes a lot of cheese, but it is definitely the best DIY vegan cheese.

[sasalukac]

Just discovered your channel and watched every video :) awesome work! Great recipes, and right to the point.

Question: have you tried making this with agar agar powder instead of kappa carrageenan? I'm wondering how it compares, and what the measurements would look like?

My guess is something like 2 tbsp agar agar and 1/2 cup water on medium heat until it becomes thicc, then you add all your other ingredients (minus carrageenan) to it?

[MuNeQuiTaBrAviTa]

Such a simple perfect recipe!! I can’t wait to make this!!! Great video!

[extropiantranshuman]

aquafaba makes great cheese and I bet an awesome substitute for carageenan

[phytorrhiza]

i've been making this recipe for months, it works great for my pizzas, thank you so much for sharing! hugs from brazil *edit: it tastes SO good, i also add a little bit of onion powder and smoke powder, very good.

[SeizeTheMoment]

Looks amazing! How long do you think that vegan cheese can keep in the refrigerator?

I made this exactly as written, using a kitchen weigh scale to weigh out all the ingredients. It's tasty and melts nicely, but I was looking for a more 'firm' texture that I can actually shred overtop of my pizza. The picture of a 'shredded' cheese on the link, was what I thought I would get, so I was disappointed when it didn't firm up enough to shred.
