Instead of using water I used plant based milk and it came out really creamy and sliceable. I think it will melt also. 🎉
Sounds great!
What type of plant-based milk did you use?
@@janiehill4256 unsweetened almond milk and want to try oat milk next time.
@@cookingprincess327 how did the melting go??
@@WeTheWaveTV 👍
Thank you for actually posting the recipes and not exclusively trying to sell them. 😊
My pleasure
My thoughts exactly. Well done
@@healthyveganeating thank you very much. That is a nice receipe !
Also, sorry for saying this but the container should be glass or wood because it is full of componants bad for our health. Have a good day. From.France
@@IFan-md2vk Any recommendations?

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 love that!!! 👌🏾
Onion and dill for the win! Thank you!
It is endlessly modifiable, from adding aromatics and herbs/spices, to added veggies like finely diced peppers, pepper flakes, sun dried tomato, olives, truffles or rehydrated dried mushrooms, etc.. I love blending in a bit of miso paste, roasted red pepper and a dash of liquid smoke!
Made the cheese last night. It actually came out delicious. I couldn’t believe it! It tastes like American cheese, and yes, it melted.
So glad you tried and liked it!
Ok where do you get the agar and nutritional yeast
You are quickly becoming my go to guy for my recipes, thanks for the healthy options for us foodies, we appreciate you, bless up!
Thank you 🙏🏾
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!
Glad you like them!
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.👍👏👏👏😊
This is a beautiful message! Thank you so much for appreciating my recipes!🙏🏾
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!
You are so welcome!
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 need...yesssss
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.
Love your message! In the right location, I think your restaurant idea would do really well! Thank you for appreciating my efforts!
That is amazing! Yes there are many, many people I know, including myself, who would totally love to have that in our area. I’m in SE FL..🤗🤗
You have my mouth watering over here. Don't forget to share your location 😂😂😂
Too bad I live in Germany, I would be their best customer if they cooked WFPB SOS. Have they opened in the meantime?
@@PlantbasedSilvi What is WFPB SOS?
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 💕
You are so welcome!
@deepaptel192 are you still holding strong to the whole-plant based lifestyle? If so, how is it going?
This is my 4th day also. I have being bulging on his videos!
I am a vegan for 3 years now and I can tell you that one feels lighter mentally as well as physically and also the b12 and a few more supplements are a must, other than that everything works totally fine!!@@thickaliciousqtpie6741
I have made this 3times and it gets better everytime perfect receipt
Beautiful!
Can you please send a link where you got the cheese molds or are they just a flexible container made of??
This is not only the best cheese but the easiest cheese I have ever
Nice! 👌🏾
Thank you!
What are you using for a mold? I'm thinking of using a glass Tupperware-type food container?
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.
Thanks so much!
Here for the Junk Free Cheese!!
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.
Great, enjoy!
I'm going to make it this weekend! Thanks again for another healthy recipe!
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.
Same
I can’t wait to make this! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! I love everything you make! Please keep them coming 😊🙏🏻😊
You are so welcome! Will do 👌🏾
Thanks for posting, all your recipes are great, you really demystify the process!

Thank you so much for this!!! I love your channel. Your recipes have been great and easy to follow ❤

Thank you for that tip on the nutritional yeast ❤
You are so welcome!
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!
You are so welcome!
I didn't have lemons, so I added lime juice instead, and it came out great! I second the idea of replacing the water with plant milk. So creamy and delightful! Thanks for the wonderful recipe! New subscriber!😃
Yes, great substitution. Thank you so much for appreciating and subscribing!
I'm so excited about trying this recipe and thank you for sharing!!🥰

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?”
That’s so cool! How did you know I’m scheduled for that?
Those of us who follow Chef AJ get an email with the upcoming guests. I saw that you were scheduled. So many people get great exposure on Chef AJ’s show and I’m excited that you will be included! I just saw that your show was already pre recorded because Chef AJ is out of the country. I hope it went great for you and looking forward to you being on her show again!
@QueenShay2022 I am a total fan !! Who wouldn’t be with all those delicious and creative recipes. And as a fan, if I want to promote him on another forum, I will. I’m not sure why you even commented.

😂🤩😂😍😂🤩😂
😄 Love your enthusiasm! 🙂
Wow! Really want to up my game and make some vegan cheese. Fermentation is where the real magic of food lives ❤❤❤ THX!!
Go for it!👌🏾
thank you so much for this recipe!! i wasn't sure if I could get away with substituting tapioca for arrowroot! it clearly works amazing!!!
You're so welcome, glad you liked it!
Oh my goodness! I just made this and it tastes sooo good! Thank you for this amazing recipe! I can't wait to use other seasonings!
You are so welcome!
I would love to see a healthy butter substitute too. 😊
An….oil free butter? Big ask!
Brittany Jaroudi makes a yellow split pea one
Me too. I love butter on toast in the mornings, but the reality is, there really is no healthy butter out there.
I cannot go near animal dairy and absolutely love the cheese recipe. I don't have any problems with oil so found and loved Becel's Plant Based Butter at our local grocery store. I like their margarine and their butter substitute tastes just as I remembered butter used to taste like, and its much healthier. It can be purchased with or without salt. Hope this info helps.
@@alicias312 I buy Becel Plant Based Butter. Its amazing!
Absolutely love this,
Perfect ❤
Thank you!
Made the cheese last night and YUM!!!. Taste fabulous and melts great. Thank you for another tasty alternative to processed food.
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it!
This recipe is awesome thank you so much! Ordered some agar powder and arrowroot powder and can’t wait to try this. I’ve been learning what ingredients to watch out for and was bummed how bad some of the ingredients in the vegan cheeses and butter are. Thanks for helping me navigate this hurdle to keep my family healthy.
My pleasure. Sounds like you have a plan!
Follow up to my previous comment. I made the recipe and while it is cooling in my refrigerator, tasting a sample, I can say that it is delicious. Thank you again, Javant for sharing this recipe! Next time I will be adding more spice to my vegan cheese.
Sounds great!
Can even add turmeric to make it “sharp cheddar”. I love this! I was just in the store and examined the vegan cheese options and immediately put all of them back. Too many additives. I’m excited!
Yes you can!
Tumeric also gives it more of that cheddar colour.😀
Cooking show way better than a cook book!!!! so excited 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 salutations from Evon- Family!!!!!
Wow, thank you!
I l❤️ve, LOVE, ❤️ all your recipes, I am going to make this & the healthy Vegan ground meat substitute today. I can't wait, thank you for sharing and thank you for the written ingredients 😃
You’re so welcome! Thank you for being so appreciative!! 🙏🏾
I have made this before. Its really tasty. You may also add yellow or red bell peppers for additional flavour and colour: I also add some onion to mine. You may omit the arrow root powder and end up with a thinner version as a cashew sauce.
Thanks for sharing
🌱🕊👏💚 Oh Happy Day!! No oil vegan cheese! Can’t wait to make this! I made your carrot cake over the weekend; soooo delicious & guilt free!!My old oven had me baking it a little longer.
Love it! 🙂
Great video. Your recipes are truly inspiring, fun to make and taste excellent. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
THANK YOU THANK YOU ❤
I've Been Waiting For This!
You're so welcome!
Just ordered the agar and I'll look for that arrowroot tomorrow. Looking forward to this. I thought all vegan cheeses were made with oil (and therefore high in sat fats) so this is a welcome surprise. Thanks !!
You are welcome
I have agar flakes, hope that is the same as powder..
I will be starting my journey as a vegan soon, and cheese is the only thing that's really hurting me to let go. Thank you for this video. ❤
You're so welcome!
I just subscribed to your channel and I'm super excited to try your recipes. I'm not vegan but trying to eat more plant-based foods. Your channel is great because unlike most of the vegan channels, you use healthier ingredients. I hate the fake meat and all the soy recipes. I do love olive oil and avocado oil, and tend to go overboard with how much I use, so I'm excited to prepare your clean recipes. Can't wait to tryout the cheese recipe and you your ground meat recipe. Keep up the great work and thank you for inspiring us to eat healthier!
Welcome. Thank you for subscribing, enjoy the recipes!
Love it. You make it look so uncomplicated.
Thank you.
You’re welcome
You are the BOMB you know that? Thank you. I have been looking for a healthy alternative to cheese because I love cheese and that is one thing I have truly missed when I gave up dairy, and admittedly, sometimes I have cheated just to enjoy the flavor again. I cannot wait to give this recipe a try. Thank you again! ❤😊
I think this is true for all of us going plant based, and there is a very legit reason. Milk contains casomorphins... an opioid peptide derived from the digestion of the milk protein casein, that acts on the same receptors as any other opioid like morphine, heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine etc. It's theorized that this insures that the infant is enticed and rewarded for feeding on it's mothers milk to insure survival and growth. Since cheese is at least 10X as concentrated as milk, it's so hard to give up because it is quite literally addictive!
@@CharGC123 Wow I was just going to mention this! Dr. Neal Barnard talks a lot about it!
@@bryant475 For me it was very motivating to know it wasn't just my own psychological cravings and "weakness" that was sabotaging my efforts, but an inherent biological dependence that needed to be fought, overcome, then avoided, like any addiction. Having tasty, healthy replacements is crucial to winning the fight.
@@CharGC123 Yes very true, the good news is once the cheese loving gut bacteria die off, cravings are gone! Same with other foods :)
@@bryant475 Yep, and making the healthy effort to change what we put in our bodies changes what our microbiome asks for! Hard to believe how much I now enjoy foods I used to think were unappealing or bland, and conversely how disgusting a greasy donut or fried anything tastes to me now!
The more I review your videos, the more I think about becoming a vegan healthy
Nice! 👌🏾
Ok Javant, my cheese is in the refrigerator chilling. You didn't steer me wrong with your cream cheese recipe and I'm super excited about this cheese! I'm thinking about all the oil and $ I am saving. I'm new on this journey. Thank you so much for the 🔥 recipes! ❤
Great to hear! You are really making it happen! 👌🏾
That looks like a nice melt too!! I'll try this! DONE with additives! Thanks & God bless you.
Thank you!
Oh my you have just made my day. Cheese has been one of the biggest things I have missed. I am so trying this out this weekend. Do you think I could add a little bit of jalapeno or crushed red pepper flakes to make it kind of like a pepper jack cheese?
Absolutely! 👌🏾
Nice recipe man
Can you do a vegan cheese with sunflower seed?
It would be amazing to see how you come up with 🔥
You can sub sunflower seeds for the cashews. They should be soaked overnight and you do need to blend them very well or your cheese will be gritty. Be forewarned that the colour isn't great. A little turmeric and yellow mustard can improve the colour. 😊
Great suggestion!
Wow, I haven’t made it yet but your instructions are clear, concise and easy to follow. Thank you. I look forward to making that cheese.
You are so welcome!
This recipe is very good and I guess it can be easy to add flavors in it but right as it is, I really enjoyed it. You're my new cheese hero!
I like that!!
Nice one, cashews are known to be somewhat toxic so they are usually always treated/heated or processed in some way cause raw is toxic. I would use macadamia nuts instead. Thanks for this, Wanted to make vegan gluten free pizza but those supermarket fake vegan cheeses are terrible full of artificial ingredients and chemicals.
Is it safe to eat raw cashews?
Truly raw cashews are not safe to eat, as they contain a substance known as urushiol, found in poison ivy. Urushiol is toxic, and contact with it can trigger a skin reaction in some people. Cashew kernels are often sold as “raw” in stores, but these have been steamed. This removes the toxins.
I just made this and waiting to firm up. Can you create a butter recipe with no oil, that would be awesome!
The closest I've come to an oil free butter sub is dry- blending a scant 1/2 cup of corn meal and 1 heaping TBS of cashews or hemp hearts into a powder, (you can also add a dash of garlic and/or onion powder, and turmeric for color) and if you have a heat safe blender, then add 2 cups of boiling salted water directly into the powder and blend on high for 3-4 minutes. (If you don't have a heat proof blender you can just blend the ingredients thoroughly then cook on the stovetop until it boils and thickens.) Pour into a 3 cup container and once it cools to body temp add a few TBS of plain plant based yogurt or a tiny bit (1/4 tsp) of cider vinegar, mix well and refrigerate. It thickens to a spread when cold that's a decent healthy oil free stand in for butter.
Hadn’t thought about that 🤔
Wow!!! Look amazing!!!
My attention span is glad your videos are straight to the point. Lol instant new subscriber 🎉
Love it!!!! Thank you 🙏🏾
Looks beautiful. Maybe a silly question, but could you activate the agar and arrowroot together? Then add to the blender together?
A little mustard and/or smoked paprika can add levels of flavor.
That’s a great question. Hope he answers it 😊
When 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.
@@CharGC123 Never heard if that, very interesting. Thanks for sharing that tip!
@@sarahdee374 Just be careful adding hot liquids to the blender, it needs to vent the hot steam or it can blow off the lid and cause burns.
@@CharGC123 amazing - thank you!!
I super love ❤️ all your recipes (except for recipes w/jackfruit 😆). Thank you for taking the plant-based lifestyle to the next level!!
I have be vegan on/off since 1984. In 2017, I made a commitment to myself to go & stay completely plant-based. In 2021, I went whole-food plant-based. And I feel better & better all the time.
I will be 62 in August, and this is the best I have EVER felt in my life!
Thanks for your recipes that help to support my lifestyle. Sending you love ❤️ ✌️ & soul 😘 👨🏾🍳 🖖
Awesome! WFPB for the win!
Love it! Thanks for sharing! So glad you are finding value from my recipes 👌🏾
You are a treasure! Thanks for the awesome recipe! I think I am going to try it will dill as well ❤
Thank you for appreciating. Enjoy!

Welcome! Thank you so much for appreciating and subscribing!
Ok, so I made this recipe this week and Oh My! So easy and so good! As others have said, it even melts! This will be a new staple in my house!
Wonderful!
You have taught me to make all the things I've missed as a vegan. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
That's the one I was waiting for!! 😄 🥳🥳 So THKU!! 😊
You're welcome!
Awesome !!!!👏🏾 thank you so much for sharing. I love your channel 😊👍
Thanks for watching!
Gratitude for showing how to make healthy vegan cheese. I’m excited.
You're so welcome!
Trying this one as well. I'm
inspired. I've been researching
for almost 2 years now. I know
of a lot of nutritious foods but
not how to make recipes like yours!
Nice, I'm glad you're enjoying the recipes!
It's the second time I ran across your channel and there are so many positive comments. Thus, I subscribe ! Can't wait to give a try to this recipe and certainly many others. Stopping to eat cheese is the most difficult for me. Thank you
Thank you so much!!
Ok..I'll give it a try. And this is only because everyone of your recipes that I've tried has been delicious😊❤
Hope you enjoy it!
I love it can’t wait to give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏❤️❤️❤️.
My pleasure
So I watched your 🥕 cauliflower, mushroom, and walnut ground round situation, now this. It *looks* like a vegan cheese that I can prepare *and* enjoy. Thank you. New sub. 🦋
Love it!! Thanks for subscribing 🙏🏾
Amazing my Brother, the creations keep getting more interesting, thank you greatly again for sharing
You’re welcome 👌🏾
Thank you for sharing this - God bless you and yours. 🙏🏾
You're welcome, enjoy!
I get so excited when I see your videos❤
Thank you, I love that! 🙂
A very simple recipe as your recipes always are and I appreciate them being very short in time. Agar is so expensive
Glad you like them!
I used this as a base to make an artichoke/spinach dip for Easter and it was fantastic. Everyone partook of it. I had a little left over that I added chopped mushrooms to, stuffed some mini bell peppers with the mix and then grilled. Also a winner.
Sounds delicious!
Going to try making this for my 4th picnic! Thank you!💚💚💚
Have fun!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. ❤️ I'm super excited and so looking forward to making this. Have ordered agar, arrowroot powders and silicone moulds. Has anyone tried freezing this cheese. It seems to make a lot and I'm just making it for myself.
Nice. I have not had good results freezing it, I think it would be better to half the recipe if you think it's too much for you to eat within 5-7 days
