1 SINGLE INGREDIENT VEGAN CHEESE⎜EASY AND AMAZING CHEESE!

Yes, you have read it right, this is a 1 SINGLE INGREDIENT CHEESE recipe that you can make at home and use only a simple staple everyday ingredient! This cheese is versatile because it can be used for both savory and sweet recipes, can be enjoyed on its own, like pain, or turned into herbed cream cheese, or a taco cheese, or a queso, or even a cheesecake!

INGREDIENTS:

1 jar of vegan unsweetened soy, or almond or cashew kefir or yogurt

METHOD:

Add the kefir to a clean and dry lidded glass jar, close it tight then add a tea towel to a deep pot, then place the glass jar with the kefir or yogurt in the pot.
Add water to the pot and make sure you cover the jar with water almost completely - it is very important that the kefir is completely covered with water.
Turn on the heat, bring the water to a boil, then to a simmer and allow it to simmer for 20 to 40 minutes or even 1 hour. Every yogurt or kefir is different so they take different times to cook so be patient.
Once the cheese is ready and you are able to see that the yogurt has separated, turn off the heat, cover the pot and allow it to cool completely.
Remove the jar from the pot, place it in a colander lined with a double cheesecloth, cover it with the remainder of the cheesecloth, or with a new one, place a smaller plate on top of your cheese
IMPORTANT: If your cheese is still too soft, do not put any weight on top of it, wait until some of the water has drained naturally, then, you can add some weight on top of the plate.
Allow it to drain until it reaches the desired cheese consistency, then refrigerate it and it's ready to use. The cheese will firm up more once it's refrigerated.
Lasts for up to 10 days in the fridge.

You're a genius. Every time I think a recipe you share cannot be topped, you top it. 🤗

[unconventionalforager]

Thank you Chef Jana.

This is a must try. Vegan cream cheese is terribly expensive.

[phyllisannbonviso]

You look gorgeous in that dress, didn't hear a word you said, imagine if I were a guy watching this?!! Your husband is a very lucky man - ok, now I have to rewind and watch again...was hungering for cheese this week, this one looks really good and easy - definitely in for the easy!!

I had to re-watch the video to see if I missed something. Honestly Jana, how on EARTH do you come up with your recipes? You're an absolute genius.
QUESTION: If Vegan Kefir isn't available where I live, can I use an alternative kind (Greek style)?
QUESTION: Can/do you reuse the strained water?
QUESTION: Is adding the vinegar to the water only to remove stains in the cloth or is there some chemical magic that happens to help curdle the yoghurt?
QUESTION: If I freeze this yoghurt before and/or after processing it through simmering, will it change the consistency (like with tofu)? I've noticed that the yoghurt I buy has to be used immediately or it'll spoil quite quickly.
QUESTION: Could I add the herbs to the yoghurt BEFORE simmering/straining it?

Finally, I do hope that your family in Brazil is safe from the floods. 🙏
Be safe and keep these videos coming! 💞

We wish you good health and happiness in the coming year!

I've been doing this during the last year and it is the easiest way and the most tasty. I don't even boil it, I just drain it overnight with a cheesecloth. Then some pressure but not too much.

[suzbackstrom]

This is wonderful! I love it when you veganize old country ways of making delicious things!

[lilianelillepill]

Chef Jana, I love you and all your recipes

[ianmcmillan]

OMG this is pure genius, I even have a stained tea cloth that needs help, think 🤔 I will add some nutritional yeast to make cottage cheese. Many many thanks and a Happy New Year 🍷
