Instead of using water I used plant based milk and it came out really creamy and sliceable. I think it will melt also. 🎉

Thank you for actually posting the recipes and not exclusively trying to sell them. 😊

Made the cheese last night. It actually came out delicious. I couldn’t believe it! It tastes like American cheese, and yes, it melted.

Using agar powder is so smart, I've only ever seen it in jellies and jam but using it for cheese makes so much sense.

This is insanely good. I added onion powder and dried dill for a dill havarti sort of thing and it’s incredibly good. We are making veggie subs with it tonight!

I just LOVE your videos. No nonsense, yu cut right to the chase without all the fluff! No one wants to watch an hour video that tells yu how to make vegan cheese!🥰Thnx so much!

[deepapatel]

This is brilliant. I am day 3 of whole-plant based diet, no oil, no sugar, no processed stuff. I just love your videos because they help me so much. Really appreciate you man 💕

I used to love cheeses before I became vegan, and I've tried the substitutes on the market, but I wasn't too thrilled about the ingredient list. I discovered you yesterday, and I'm so excited to try this and all the other amazing easy to follow healthy vegan recipes. We need a Cookbook! Please?!!! You're the best! Thank you very much.👍👏👏👏😊

I'm here for it all sir. First of all, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. This is so cool. I'm a recent culinary school graduate and I want to open a Vegan Caribbean Barbeque restaurant in the future. Watching your videos and reading the comment section helps me believe that there is a market out there for these great healthy foods. Keep on keeping on man. You're a great inspiration.

This is so crazy. Just yesterday (6/29)I was seeking a recipe for healthy vegan cheese and VOILA here you are TODAY in my feed with what I

I enjoy watching and making your vegan recipes so much!! Been eating vegan to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. I refuse to take meds to lower them. After 3 months, BP is low and cholesterol dropped over 100 points. Thank you for helping to make eating healthy and delicious!

I’m in shock at how good this cheese is. I am definitely making this over and over again. You, knocked this one out of the park.

IWhen I can't get agar I like to use oat and chickpea flour as thickeners. I add boiling water directly into all ingredients in my heat rated blender and run for a few minutes until the motor slows a bit, at which point I refrigerate to set. (Or else just cook on the stove if your blender isn't rated). It won't set as firm as using agar, but more like the texture of brie or camembert.

[HeronCoyote]

Two things I check before making a recipe are the written ingredients and directions (ridiculously easy in this case), and comments from people who have actually made the recipe. All very positive!
I just need to buy a couple of silicone molds and hope my local health food stores have agar.

[nadiaparker]

I have made this 3times and it gets better everytime perfect receipt

[hopevanschaick]

This is not only the best cheese but the easiest cheese I have ever

[tracievans]

My son and I just started plant based eating yesterday. We're trying to eat healthier and to lose weight. So glad I ran across your channel! I never thought I'd be making my own cheese! I am definitely trying this after I get the ingredients! Can't wait to see what other foods I can make! Thank you!

[conniepleasantnails]

Thank you for that tip on the nutritional yeast ❤

[jillponce]

Absolutely wonderful and creative! Can’t wait to see you on Chef AJ this July 6 at 11am PST. 👏🏻 And I agree with another commenter on “when will you make a cookbook?”
