**THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR TAPIOCA STARCH AND I WOULD ONLY USE RED LENTILS FOR THIS NO OTHER LENTIL** hello everyone!! hope you all are doing well and I hope you enjoy this recipe, I was really excited to share it :) full recipe is on my blog and ingredients are written out in the description box! Also, there are links to buy my new cookbook Plantiful in the box too. Sending my love xo
@@PlantifullyBased arrowroot as well!. It's very stretchy, at least in my experience 👀 I've actually ruined some recipes because arrowroot is all I had and they became stretchy/gooey, lol. I'll try to find tapioca flour today in my local market and give the recipe a go ⭐
@@nanushka if you want to try it with arrowroot you certainly can but just note that the recipe does call for tapioca starch and i can’t speak to how it will work when not using that
I am so excited for you, check out this one for vegan mozzarella too if you haven't already, it's pretty similar! th-cam.com/video/ZOGSejnBObc/w-d-xo.html
This is amazing!!! Never thought of using lentils to make vegan cheese. Can't wait to try this! And I totally relate to telling people to always make sure to use unflavored almond milk. The same applies for sweet baked goods otherwise you just get that super sweet vanilla flavoring and it's no good at all!
It looks really good! I use tapioca starch and nutritional yeast for my pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) and some cheese sauces, but I had never thought of making vegan cheese with lentils too. I need to try it.
I need to make the pão de queijo it has been on my list of things to try for so long. along with like 1000 other things haha!! yess I wish I could make this for you so we can share
That’s brilliant! Red lentils. I can’t wait to try this. I got your book last week and it is just gorgeous. I was so happy to see a recipe for Arancini. I love your food. I was glad to see that lasagna recipe in there too. I made this a long time ago, and it is by far the most authentic vegan Italian recipe I have ever made. Well done. I was quite delighted to discover that you studied opera. That makes you extra special, because most people can sing, but opera is a beautiful gift from God. I studied violin when I was younger and loved it. Bach was my favourite, but Mozart had a serious gift. Classical music is the basis for all the best music ever written. If you can play classical, you can transition to any other genre out there. Sorry for rambling, but I love a good tune. Thanks again for this beautiful book. It’s perfect. Love and light. ☮️💕
Hi Mary! Hope you are doing well! I am so happy you got the book thank you so much :) yess I was so excited to make a bunch of new recipes for it but also include some of my all time favorites like the lasagna! Aw thank you so much, I love opera so much but life just took a bit of turn towards food haha! Yes, you are so right. Bach is lovely, love the cello suits so much and of course Mozart was just a true genius. It was always fun getting to do some of his roles for operas! thank you for all your support and love
Oh im so happy i bought some tapioca flour a few weeks ago! Gonna make this today for my what I eat in a week video. I'll definitely mention that the recipe is yours 🥰
I love lentils but I dont work with it often.. that was super think!! Super lovely recipe!! Low carb grilled cheese yum it's too good to be true!! Awesome recipe 👌 thank you for sharing 💕
Thank you yes and hope you all are well too... what an interesting recipe. I love red lentils... Such a great idea... Can't wait to try this. Thank you for a delicious recipe🙌🧡
Could this be poured into a block or round form, then refrigerated and sliced for a sandwich or a vegan cheese board? What do you recommend to include to make it fiem enough for slicing and serving?
If you didn't want to use it for the grilled cheese and let it cool and set in a mould i.e. a dish would it set to a solid sliceable cheese? Ive been wondering whether red lentils would make a hard cheese. TIA x
You can skip it but it is what gives it a cheesy umami and some nice vitamins. So i would just add in some extra seasonings like garlic and onion powder
I can't wait to try this recipe. It looks delicious 😋. Grill cheese is my absolute favorite 😋. The only way to eat any sandwich is to cut it on a diagonal.
@@PlantifullyBased I am doing much better. I had covid19 back in November then had pneumonia. I am good now just little cough still. Hope Ur doing great😍😊😍
@@domesticgoddessmarissa4681 aw no I am so sorry to hear that :( I’m glad you’re doing better now! Keep resting ❤️❤️❤️ sending lots of healthy vibes your way
Yum that looks good. I would probably be good in a vegan mac and cheese. I'm really allergic to cashews. I had a vegan mac and cheese without knowing cashew was used to make it and almost died immediately.
@@ssmith3967 Well I'm a vegetarian not really a vegan but I still like challenging myself in the kitchen to see if I can make vegan meals or not eat as much cheese.
hi it should be okay I read online that you may need to use a little less cassava flour so maybe start with 1 tablespoon instead of 2. about 2-3 days but it is best when fresh
Hi unfortunately no the tapioca flour is essential in giving the cheese it’s texture and gooey like stretch. You can try just leaving it out and making it more of like a cheese dip
This looks delicious! Wow, that cheese. I wanna make it! I'm curious, which brand of white bread do you use? I found it is super hard in the states to find vegan white bread as the ones I find often have non-vegan preservatives in them. I usually get Ezekiel at Whole Foods as a result but I do miss plain white bread sometimes.

A very starchy type of potato will also give the stretch,just need enough of it & less water if it is boiled,better to bake one them use the inside
Arrowroot flour works as well!
@@nanushka hi tapioca flour has a different texture than arrowroot flour. The tapioca flour gives it its stretchy texture
@@PlantifullyBased arrowroot as well!. It's very stretchy, at least in my experience 👀 I've actually ruined some recipes because arrowroot is all I had and they became stretchy/gooey, lol. I'll try to find tapioca flour today in my local market and give the recipe a go ⭐

as someone allergic to nuts, this may be the first vegan cheese recipe ive seen that is truly feasible for me! excited to try this sometime!

Guys, it's so good! I made it! But I substituted some items and I noticed it taste just like cheddar cheese. I couldn't believe it.
I love how healthy this recipe is! Lovely
thank you so much Louise!

You are so welcome!
So easy to make. Gotta make this for my son.
yay!! that makes me happy to hear! :)
Wow. You are such a kitchen wizard! How would you describe the taste?
Haha thank you! It definitely has a cheesy, savory, bit tangy taste to me but of course everyone’s preferences and taste buds are different
Thank you for sharing 🤗💕
you are so welcome!!
Could this be poured into a block or round form, then refrigerated and sliced for a sandwich or a vegan cheese board? What do you recommend to include to make it fiem enough for slicing and serving?
Hi unfortunately no that’s not what this recipe is designed for sorry! It’s just supposed to be a melty cheddar cheese
Hii there is no nutritional years in my country. Could I leave out the nutritional yeast or is there a replacement I can use?
Hi you can leave it out and maybe just throw in some extra spices or miso paste!
Thanks for this recipe I made it wow it is amazing
You are so welcome! So happy you enjoyed it!!!
Thank you very kindly !
you are so welcome!
Very nice recipe chef 👍👌👏. Thank you for your effort 🙏🌹😎
Thank you so much :)

Hi Chrissie hmm i have to be honest I am not sure you could try it out though worst comes to worse it doesn’t solidify!
@@PlantifullyBased Ok... thanks for your reply x
Thank you for putting Metric weights of the ingredients in the recipe! I’m in the UK and we don’t use Cups as measurements.
of course you are welcome! that is why I do it :)
Is tapioca starch different than tapioca flour??
They are the same thing just different brands call tnem flour or starch
Dude this is genius!!
thank you!
Yaayyy thank you so much for sharing hun i will be making this very soon
aw thank you for watching! i hope you enjoy
@@PlantifullyBased your welcome and I know I will
Definitely trying this! I’ve made vegan cheese several different ways but never thought to use red lentils! You are so creative!
yay! I hope you enjoy it. thank you so much, yeah one day i was making lentil soup and I was like I could make a vegan cheese out of this.. haha!
@@PlantifullyBased that’s awesome! We appreciate all of your nut free soy free contents!
Can i skip Nutritional yeast?
If not then please tell me the substitute of it.
You can skip it but it is what gives it a cheesy umami and some nice vitamins. So i would just add in some extra seasonings like garlic and onion powder
Lentils!!! This is genius 🙌🏻
Thank you!! 🥰🥰

awww yay! I hope you enjoy it! yessss grilled cheese must always be cut on a diagonal haha! I am glad you agree :)
@@PlantifullyBased That is the only way I can eat my sandwich haha.
Amazing!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖🕊
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
This so good.How delicious 😋 Love it!🌱💗🌱I will make this recipe along with a tomatoe soup 🍲. Thank you for sharing. Blessings🙏Have a great weekend.

1st!! Yay gotta watch this!!
yay!!! thank you for being here :)
Yum that looks good. I would probably be good in a vegan mac and cheese. I'm really allergic to cashews. I had a vegan mac and cheese without knowing cashew was used to make it and almost died immediately.
Oh yeah it would make a great vegan Mac and cheese! Oh no I’m sorry to hear that but I’m glad you were okay, so scary :(
Ik, being vegan and allergic to cashews can really be awful sometimes.
I have a few nut free sauces and cheeses on here! I try to always add some variety in!
@@ssmith3967 Well I'm a vegetarian not really a vegan but I still like challenging myself in the kitchen to see if I can make vegan meals or not eat as much cheese.
I would want to make some carrot bacon. Would make a good grilled cheese “bacon” sandwich with maybe some peppers 😎 Great recipe. Thanks ✨
oh yes would be delicious!!
This is awesome
Thank you so much!
If you want it smoky? Would u just add liquid smoke? Im assuming, I've never made vegan cheese , but this looks delicious and easy!
Yeah totally!! You can add any flavors you like to cater it to how you want :)
Hi could You also use cassava flour if you don’t have tapioca flour? And ps how long will it last in the fridge?
hi it should be okay I read online that you may need to use a little less cassava flour so maybe start with 1 tablespoon instead of 2. about 2-3 days but it is best when fresh
Can you use corn flour / starch?
no the tapioca starch is essential for the stretchiness and texture to make it like cheese
Can you make this as a queso?
Definitely I would probably leave out the tapioca starch if you wanted to do that or add more nondairy milk plus whatever spices you wanna add
Ooooh this looks so goood! Would this hold up well in the fridge? To be placed no toast later?
🌱💕
Yes! It will last about 2-3 days in the fridge, it is definitely it best when fresh though! ❤️
Thanks!!!!
You’re welcome!
Is there a sub for the tapioca flour???
Hi unfortunately no the tapioca flour is essential in giving the cheese it’s texture and gooey like stretch. You can try just leaving it out and making it more of like a cheese dip
@@PlantifullyBased gotcha, thank you. I live on an island so I may have to order it in! 👍👍👍👍
@@pearldrop615 ahhh okay yeah! Hopefully you can find some!
@@PlantifullyBased how about cornstarch? would that work?
@@coraz0nmordid0 it will not produce the same result the tapioca starch is what gives it the gooey stretchiness
Can I make this w lentil powder? cuz I've already blended mine 😅😅 guess I'll cook it w milk! hmm that should be interesting. Def gotta try it out! 😌
haha I have never tried it if you do let me know how it goes :)
Can you put it in the fridge
yes you can please check description box
This looks delicious! Wow, that cheese. I wanna make it! I'm curious, which brand of white bread do you use?

thank you!! I used the one from whole foods! just their generic 365 brand :)
@@PlantifullyBased Thank you so much! :) I'll be sure to pick it up!
Dave’s killer bread is pretty good too!
@@Jinglesbellez Thanks! I love Dave's Killer Bread :D
Hi ..how can I store this
store it in a container in the fridge
holy SHIT that looks AMAZIN!! 🙌🏻💕 Thank you So much so so much girl!!❤️❤️
thank you so much Maria!! :)
It was going great and then I cut it perpendicular so I had to throw it all away! 😢
Oh noooo now you know for next time 😂
Could you leave out the nooch? Please😶
You can but it does add the cheesy flavor so be sure to add in some extra spices
Thank you. Awesome recipe
Of course you are welcome!
