It's an energetic experience for me. Love translates a frequency. Live food has it's own frequency. Each impacted by the other. It's so imperative to "Love" the food, from the moment you choose it. Either off the rack, the shelf, and from the garden. There is a reciprocal agreement. When you choose to thank source, for the sustenance it provides. For the protection from illness. It all has an energetic value. That much love inspires creativity, and "flow". I would love to hear what you come up with. But remember, this is a ✌ ingredient recipe. Just respect it's integrity.
@Nellie Rutten Thanks for your reply. I am interested in organic vegan recipes for more innovative variety using organic seeds, nuts and vegetables rather than grains. In point of fact, I have always eaten dairy, including eggs, and have been mainly vegetarian since I was age 22 (now 73). I choose to eat organic foods rather than the processed ones you describe and buy health farm produce whenever I can. I also follow the principles of Ayurveda which includes most dairy. I agree with what you regarding processed soya products etc. The concentrated effort agriculturally should be to do more and more organic arable and dairy farming. The biggest problem on the planet is climate change due to overpopulation. However, I think we were put on the physical plane both to appreciate Mother Nature and to transcend our small selfish natures through the practice of Altruism, and to do this we need to have optimum physical and mental health.
I love the way you "treat" food and ingredients. It is a reflection of your respect of all things the nature has given us without exploiting or hurting mother earth ♥️

Hi from France. I made this vegan cheese with salt, Khampot pepper and cumin seeds, it is absolutely delicious, super tasty, much more tasty than those readymade and so so easy to make ! this is the second recipe I made from your vlog (the first one being your fabulous mushroom soup). Thanks a lot !
My head just blew up... I have always seen that people use nutritional yeast in almost all vegan cheese, but this takes it to me next level with only 2 ingredients!? I'm definitely trying this 😍 thank you!
Finally an inexpensive easy way for vegan cheese. I’m not trying to spend 25$ on cashews like most vegan cheese recipes... only need to spend a few bucks on some cashew milk! Yay! and soo happy it’s not tofu, either!
Though I have the feeling that all this could be achieved easier by not using cashew milk in the first place but rather some sort of cashew paste with only a small amount of water. Because all you do in this recipe is blending cashews with water, adding lemon juice under heat, and then draining most of the water you added in step 1. 🤔
How much is your health worth. If you eat well you may never have to go see the doctor in your golden years. While everyone else is popping pills to stay alive.
@@Sturzfaktor2 but you need the flesh of the cashews to make the actual cheese - its not the water turning into a solid, it's the cashew nuts themselves. If you use a cashew paste and water it down you won't be able to achieve any cheese like consistency from it and it'll likely drain away with the water.
CONGRATULATIONS! You are the first person I have seen online to show how to make true "cheese" from a vegen milk. What most vegens don't realized is that, even if the results taste good, what most "cheese" recipes are producing are more accurately described as unsweetened puddings, with all of the carbs remaining from the original milk. What you are making is simply cashew tofu. Tofu is cheese made by coagulating the protein in a vegen milk (using a coagulant such as lemon, vinegar, nigari or...best...food grade gypsum)...whereas traditional cheese start by coagulating protein in animal milk with rennet (which does not work with vegen milk). Soy is most often used for making tofu because the soybean contains close to 50% protein...whereas the next 5 sources of vegen protein...fava beans, lentils, yellow split peas, kidney beans & chickpeas...contain 26-20% protein. But, their "milk" can be used to make tofu which, as I described, is true vegen cheese. In fact, though its protein content is only about 16%, the cheapest non-soy source of vegen milk for tofu-making is dirt-cheap rolled oats...which, by its very nature, is gluten, soy & nut free. Pardon long comment...but I hope it is helpful!
I could not imagine how you could get a chunk of cream cheese that big from 1/4 cup of cashews but 🍨it worked exactly as you show ! So simple. So delicious! Priceless ! Thanks again . Now all I need is a good sharp cheddar flavor !
Thank you. You are amazing! Dairy cheese was one of the last things I gave up. And you are so rght. Store vegan cheeses have too many processed ingredients. Hadn't seen such a simple recipe before. Bravo!
Hi!!!! I made the cheese and it's delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OU ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!I would like to make IT WITH ALMOND MILK TOO, YEAA!!! THANK YOU. OK , I DIVIDED MY CHEESE IN TWO FORMS, ONE, I MIXED IT WITH ROASTED HOT PEPPERS, AND MOLD IT, THE OTHER ONE, WITH A BIT OF SAGE OREGANO AND ROLLED IT IN WALNUT CRUMBS, GORGEOUS!! LOL, I AM ITALIAN, I TOOK IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL, LOL. TONIGHT, I HAVE SOME FRIENDS OVER, THEY WILL LOVE IT!!!!!!! MY FRIEND'S BOYFRIEND IS ASIAN, HE LOVES MY FOOD, I WILL TELL THEM ABOUT YOU, CIAO, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made this yesterday, and I must say - this is some really good cream cheese. As someone who's been disappointed with many cheese recipes before, it's great to finally come across a good one.
That's because this is one of the few true vegen cheese "recipes". It is actually cashew tofu...which is cheese (coagulated protein) using a vegen milk source rather than animal milk. I know people don't think of tofu as cheese, but that's exactly what it is.
I made this cheese and was really thrilled with the results. I tried it first with store bought cashew milk and it did not thicken. Once I made my own homemade cashew milk as per your instructions it worked beautifully. I added roasted garlic and fresh herbs. It tasted like a boursin type cheese. Lovely! Thank you!
I find it works best with homemade cashew milk or cream because it really needs that fat to curdle. Almond milk may not yield the same results. A full bodied soy milk might tho
I was trying to make this a week ago and I usually drink oat milk so I went out to get cashew milk and low and behold I accidentally picked up almond milk it wasn't until after i noticed it didn't work it was still all liquid even after keeping it in the fridge for 24 hrs 🙃 i was so upset and then I realized it was almond milk 😅 NOW I have cashew milk for sure this time and I'm just cooling it now...im so excited to try this!!
Love this idea. I make almond cheese all the time with three ingredients but I add a lot of stuff like garlic for flavorings. I bet this could benefit from spices and herbs as well. Thanks.
We have cashew allergy in our family, so I would also like the almond cheese recipe. I may just try substituting the cashews for blanched almonds and see how it turns out.
OK, I was waiting for the "1/2 cup of coconut oil" part of the recipe, so I was enthusiastically surprised when the cheese came out of the refrigerator, as in its final state. THANKS!!! Now you have a subscriber for life, and a great appreciation for your recipes.
I'm not vegan but I definitely chose food that is anti-inflammatory for health reasons, I would love to try this recipe, but I have 2 questions, how much salt can I add for that amount of milk and do I have to use raw cashew previously soaked in warm water to prepare the milk. Please, please answer me 😋❤
Looking forward to trying this as I am setting up a free Vegan food sample stand for my community to taste beautiful Vegan alternatives to animal based options , thank you . My first stand is all commercial Vegan scheeses but making this home made version for the public will be soooO much more satisfying if it turns out as good as yours

This is by far, the easiest vegan cheese recipe I have seen on youtube. I'm lactose intolerant and cannot consume dairy cheese. So I have not had cheese in over 10yrs. My fridge is stocked with silk milk and limes/lemons. I'm getting me some cheese cloth and cheeseville here I come. Thank you so much for this. Big hugs. I'm so excited to try this. Instant subscriber
Welcome 🥳 glad you’re here! I recommend using homemade cashew milk tho, I’m pretty sure the silk ones won’t work 😅 for homemade cashew milk it’s about 1/4 cup cashews to 2 cups water
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING thanks for the advice. I'm glad I saw this before I got to the supermarket. I'm going to get some. I need an ice cream recipe next. Had not had it in over 10yrs since I became lactose intolerant.
Finally something I can make without feeling so intimidated. I have an infinite amount of recipes on how to make vegan cheeses...all kinds and the thought of messing up changes my mind. I will make this one and hook it up. Thanks so much for this. You've have a new subscriber here !
By the way, there is a recipe on youtube which incorporates a little fermented tofu into the vegan "cheese" recipe. One can find fermented tofu in Chinese food markets. It's amazingly salty, but has a wonderful taste. I am going to make this recipe of yours, and add a teaspoon of fermented tofu and see if it is more sharp cheese like. Thanks again.
Wow. I actually wondered if that would work. I've got a jar of that stink in my refrigerator. Would you happen to have a link to that? But if you don't, I'm inspired to try it.
Did you ever try this? If so can you update on results? I finally found some of the stinky tofu and now want a way to use it. Chef Jana uses it in some of her vegan cheeses, but Will's looks easier if it is successful..
I just made this and it came out delicious! I added a little salt and sun dried tomatoes when blending the cashews for the milk. Can’t believe how easy it was. Thanks for the recipe! Will be trying other flavors.
@@rowanz6128 You don’t have to for the cheese recipe. Unlike almonds, the cashews don’t have that tough brown skin that needs to be strained. However, if you want a smoother cashew milk to drink, then I’ll sometimes strain it. I always soak the nuts prior to blending too.
I've never hit subscribe so fast. I absolutely love the part about spending more time with your food so that it will take better care of you. I'm not even vegan but I love adding healthy options to my diet. I looooove this! About to go binge watch your stuff now. 🤗
Thank you sooo much for sharing your wholesome recipe & principles, enjoy watching & listening to you in your presentations. God's richest blessings be with you, 😊
Now after reading some of the other comments. There are many inspired home chefs in the same headspace as I. Being Greek, all food inspires me. I intend to try this immediately! A plain version at first. Then garlic/dill, oregano; basil. The sky is the limit! What started as a two ingredient simple recipe. Has given rise to so much creativity, and yet the simplicity not abandoned. Thank you Wil!
I love the simplicity of this recipe. Tysm for teaching us in a wonderful stylistic presentation. I cannot use cashews can I make this with almonds, pecans or walnuts?
For 2 days now, when I open TH-cam, this video comes up! I watched it maybe a year ago, bought cheesecloth, and forgot about it. I recently moved and gave away the unopened package of cheesecloth, and now this video has decided I need to make cheese! I also subscribed, thinking I already had.
I love how slow you talk. It's calm and relaxing. But the video is still nice and simple and short! The Color scheme is environment looks so tranquil 💗
You are just so fucking magical Yeung. I’ve made cottage cheese before many times w regular milk the exact same way. And I’ve never thought to make vegan cheese like this ever since I’ve gone vegan. Thank you for making my 2021 great and many more to come!💖
Hi Will, just found your channel, and love it! My question is, regarding cashews for this recipe. Do you strain out the cashew pulp, or could you leave it in. Thank you!
I think I'll give this a try. I am currently obsessed with rye crisp breads topped with soft cheese, cucumber and hot sauce. Though I'm intrigued, wouldn't it be quicker to just hydrate some cashews in water for an hour or so, then blend the drained, whole cashews? Afterall, this process is separating the cashew bits from the water in the cashews milk. The acid separates the fats(cashews) from the water, the same process for making traditional cheeses.
i know this is an older video but it popped up on my feed today which is a heaven sent because i've been on a low iodine diet for two days and i've been running out of food options for a snack. this is really perfect! very simple without fuss to substitute ingredients. i would ask how long this would keep but i don't think that would be an issues haha. thank you for sharing this!
Thanks!! I made homemade cashew milk as per your instructions and added a small amount of salt, black pepper and chopped fresh basil to the finished cheese.Delicious.
Thanks for creating a short video that's to the point and impacting. So fed up with You Tube videos that take up 13-20 minutes for a recipe that mostly is a lot of talking about nothing.
OMG! I have done something very similar with plain, unsweetened soy yogurt for over 15 years! (however, I don't heat it or use lemon juice because soy yogurt is already tart). I just put it in cheesecloth and hang it over the sink for about 8 hours to let all the liquid drip out. Now I'm going to try it with cashew milk - I bet it comes out super buttery! :) Thanks so much for this recipe
That looks so delicious and healthy. I have a couple of questions: 1) Do you store it in the fridge and if yes, how long does it last? 2) Can you use lemon as well to make tofu from soy milk? Thanks! 🤗🙂😁
Definitely! You can sprinkle some dried herbs and spices before serving or if you’re thinking of reshaping it, you can put the herbs and spices in the cup and press the cheese onto it 😀😀😀
I am a new subscriber and am delighted to find your channel. I am super lactose intolerant so can't wait to try this beautiful cheese. Thank you for your videos and the care you put into each one. Yes, food is love. Thank you for sharing the love.
You do not specify, home made or store bought cashew milk? I know you said we can make our own but does the store bought cashew milk work with this recipe? Which do you prefer? I want to grab store bought just to do this fast, but I have cashews in bulk at home as well.
Wow that is so simple! I’ve made my own cashew cheeses but nothing with only 2 ingredients. Could you add in additional herbs and things for added flavor. I’m still on the hunt for a recipe that gives me a sharp cheddar flavor. But this looks delish and I will definitely try! 🙌🏼🌱
You can absolutely flavour this cheese with any dry herb blend you'd like! This is just the basic form of the cheese - delicious in its own right, but would also be bomb with some herbs mmmmmm :)
Yo you need a Vitamix. Just put in your raw cashews, fresh lemon juice and lots of sea salt (cheese is salty) then blend using as little water as possible. The Vitamix will cream it up smooth as silk. No cooking, no straining, no waiting over night. It will however thicken up a lot in the frig,. You can add nutritional yeast, saffron, chipotle pepper... for varieties, Even add Cayenne and Kale for a cheddar.

I've also heard fermenting it makes it stretch when melted, like cow's milk cheese is.
Wow. I actually wondered if that would work. I've got a jar of that stink in my refrigerator. Would you happen to have a link to that? But if you don't, I'm inspired to try it.
This sounds amazing, please, somebody share a link, or like, if you tried it what happened, I would be sooo appreciative!
Did you ever try this? If so can you update on results? I finally found some of the stinky tofu and now want a way to use it. Chef Jana uses it in some of her vegan cheeses, but Will's looks easier if it is successful..
Milk,Cashew, almond, peanuts I am allergic to them 🥺 what should I use please do reply sir
Love you're video. Thank you
I just made this and it came out delicious! I added a little salt and sun dried tomatoes when blending the cashews for the milk. Can’t believe how easy it was. Thanks for the recipe! Will be trying other flavors.
Wait…so when making the cashew milk, instead of straining the cashews out like with almond milk you just leave them in?
@@rowanz6128 You don’t have to for the cheese recipe. Unlike almonds, the cashews don’t have that tough brown skin that needs to be strained. However, if you want a smoother cashew milk to drink, then I’ll sometimes strain it. I always soak the nuts prior to blending too.
Oh. Sun dried tomato sounds exciting! Yum
Yay! Glad I found this! Unlike the other vegan recipe; their ingredients is hard to find and expensive! Kudos to u!
I'm in love with your cooking. Easy recipes that are so tasty, Fabulous. Thank you. ❤
🥳
And your not bad to look at either. 👍
Love the simplicity of this, thanks for sharing!
Add some fresh chopped PARSLEY to this Cheese...as Parsley is high in Calcium.
And what about salt?
My kids and I love vegan and vegetarian food, especially my eldest daughter. I just shared your channel with her! We love cashew milk!!!!
So awesome 🥳
I've never hit subscribe so fast. I absolutely love the part about spending more time with your food so that it will take better care of you. I'm not even vegan but I love adding healthy options to my diet. I looooove this! About to go binge watch your stuff now. 🤗
Welcome 🥳 glad you’re here ☺️
Thank you sooo much for sharing your wholesome recipe & principles, enjoy watching & listening to you in your presentations. God's richest blessings be with you, 😊
Now after reading some of the other comments. There are many inspired home chefs in the same headspace as I. Being Greek, all food inspires me. I intend to try this immediately! A plain version at first. Then garlic/dill, oregano; basil. The sky is the limit!
What started as a two ingredient simple recipe. Has given rise to so much creativity, and yet the simplicity not abandoned. Thank you Wil!
Flora, I was thinking the same thing as you. Honestly, this is a great base to make almost any sort of deliciousness!
@@planted365 oh yeah! Thanks for affirming! Love = creativity. So let it "flow"! OPA! Cooking is an adventure for me. Do you agree?
I admire your saying that and for enjoying the episode 🥳
Flora - Yes, so much!! I am completely inspired to learn more and share more with everyone I know.
Absolutely amazing; will give it a try ❤️
Lawd this man is really handsome and a good cook
Depends on your definition of handsome...
@@jungsomewhat Well everyone has different taste lol
@@jungsomewhat I’m sure you are someone’s definition of good looking too 🙄
Right, let’s all marry him and be happy. 🤣😂🤣
@@MultiTrinket he's not my type though. He's got bug eyes.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. They are so well done. They are easy to understand and elegant. I appreciate your style and recipes.
You are so welcome and glad to be cooking together 🙌🏻
I love the simplicity of this recipe. Tysm for teaching us in a wonderful stylistic presentation.
I cannot use cashews can I make this with almonds, pecans or walnuts?
You’re welcome ☺️ hmm maybe macadamia nuts?
For 2 days now, when I open TH-cam, this video comes up! I watched it maybe a year ago, bought cheesecloth, and forgot about it. I recently moved and gave away the unopened package of cheesecloth, and now this video has decided I need to make cheese! I also subscribed, thinking I already had.
This looks great I would add a little rosemary during the warming stage thanks for a great class
Yaaass 🥳
I love how slow you talk. It's calm and relaxing. But the video is still nice and simple and short!
The Color scheme is environment looks so tranquil 💗
You are just so fucking magical Yeung. I’ve made cottage cheese before many times w regular milk the exact same way. And I’ve never thought to make vegan cheese like this ever since I’ve gone vegan. Thank you for making my 2021 great and many more to come!💖
Thank you. It's like you read my mind. I need that cheese in my life. Cashew milk and lemon juice ..
Hi Will, just found your channel, and love it! My question is, regarding cashews for this recipe. Do you strain out the cashew pulp, or could you leave it in. Thank you!
Just strain out as much water as you can gently. When it starts looking white, then stop ☺️
This is soooooo cool. I can see putting chives or green onion or smokey chili oil in it to flavor. Oh my. No dairy. Blissful.🥳
Yummmmy options 🙌🏻😎
Absolutely perfect! I can't wait to try this recipe.
thanks! can't wait for you to try it too :D
I think I'll give this a try. I am currently obsessed with rye crisp breads topped with soft cheese, cucumber and hot sauce.
Though I'm intrigued, wouldn't it be quicker to just hydrate some cashews in water for an hour or so, then blend the drained, whole cashews? Afterall, this process is separating the cashew bits from the water in the cashews milk. The acid separates the fats(cashews) from the water, the same process for making traditional cheeses.
You’re amazing. This is now my favorite channel. 🌸
Thank you so much ☺️
i know this is an older video but it popped up on my feed today which is a heaven sent because i've been on a low iodine diet for two days and i've been running out of food options for a snack. this is really perfect! very simple without fuss to substitute ingredients. i would ask how long this would keep but i don't think that would be an issues haha. thank you for sharing this!
Looks wonderful! I would add salt.
Wil, I love your food recipes and also your photography! You are an asset to humankind.
You’re too kind ☺️
This could definitely be turned into a cream cheese. I use to love the Philadelphia's maple brown sugar cream cheese. I will experiment.
How did the experiment turn out?
Thanks!! I made homemade cashew milk as per your instructions and added a small amount of salt, black pepper and chopped fresh basil to the finished cheese.Delicious.
😋
When in the process did you add your flavours?
Thanks for creating a short video that's to the point and impacting.
So fed up with You Tube videos that take up 13-20 minutes for a recipe that mostly is a lot of talking about nothing.
🥳
OMG! I have done something very similar with plain, unsweetened soy yogurt for over 15 years! (however, I don't heat it or use lemon juice because soy yogurt is already tart). I just put it in cheesecloth and hang it over the sink for about 8 hours to let all the liquid drip out.
Now I'm going to try it with cashew milk - I bet it comes out super buttery! :) Thanks so much for this recipe
Could you add herbs to the milk while cooking to infuse? Just thinking.🤔👍💞
Interesting idea! 🥳
Just saw this recipe. Thanks! I am going to try this today.
That looks so delicious and healthy. I have a couple of questions: 1) Do you store it in the fridge and if yes, how long does it last? 2) Can you use lemon as well to make tofu from soy milk? Thanks! 🤗🙂😁
Great questions yup it’s stored in the fridge I’d say enjoy within 1-2 weeks. I haven’t actually made tofu yet 😅
Yes, soymilk and lemon juice make tofu. Mine turned out more like a silken tofu. Checkout Marys Test Kitchen.
It's difficult to strain soy milk....made many attempts before I gave up...I too followed Mary's test kitchen
Thank you for this simple 2 ingredient vegan cheese recipe!!
🙌🏻
oh wow!! thanks so much :D
omg def trying it out! natural, few ingredients, pure food made with love. my life's concept! thank you
I've just tried this and it's amazing. I'll confess I munched through the whole thing tho 🤭thank you Wil 🙏🏻
No shame in that 🥳😅
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING 🤣🤣👍🏻
it looks super good, but why would you add water to cashews to make milk to then seperate it again?
when do you add the spices, like chives and maybe some garlic powder
Definitely! You can sprinkle some dried herbs and spices before serving or if you’re thinking of reshaping it, you can put the herbs and spices in the cup and press the cheese onto it 😀😀😀
I am a new subscriber and am delighted to find your channel. I am super lactose intolerant so can't wait to try this beautiful cheese. Thank you for your videos and the care you put into each one. Yes, food is love. Thank you for sharing the love.
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT TO SHOW ME, I AM COMPLICATED CHEF, LOL , I APPRECIATE SOMEONE LIKE YOU!!!!!!!! GREAT VIDEOS!!!!!
Hehe nice! Well I do have almost 150 episodes so far 😅😅😅 stay tuned for more new episodes 🙌👨🍳
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING YOU ARE GRAND!!!!!!!!!!!
Will it work if I add some nutritional yeast??? Thanks for the vid xx
You do not specify, home made or store bought cashew milk? I know you said we can make our own but does the store bought cashew milk work with this recipe? Which do you prefer? I want to grab store bought just to do this fast, but I have cashews in bulk at home as well.
If you have a vitamix, it’s super quick to make it - 1/4 cup cashews to 2 cups water ☺️
I never really soak the cashews since the vitamix liquifies it
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING nuts need to be soaked & rinsed. Phytic acid!
I get it, lemon curdles the cashew milk! Awesome!!
Wow that is so simple! I’ve made my own cashew cheeses but nothing with only 2 ingredients. Could you add in additional herbs and things for added flavor. I’m still on the hunt for a recipe that gives me a sharp cheddar flavor. But this looks delish and I will definitely try! 🙌🏼🌱
You can absolutely flavour this cheese with any dry herb blend you'd like! This is just the basic form of the cheese - delicious in its own right, but would also be bomb with some herbs mmmmmm :)
I saw on another channel that adding turmeric will give you a sharp cheddar flavor@@YEUNGMANCOOKING
Are cashews the preferable nuts choice for making cheese?
Wow this was basically like watching magic haha!! Amazing recipe! Would be sooo good with fresh herbs stirred in 🤩
haha many thanks :P I hope you'll give it a try! mmmm herbs sound awesome!
Yo you need a Vitamix. Just put in your raw cashews, fresh lemon juice and lots of sea salt (cheese is salty) then blend using as little water as possible. The Vitamix will cream it up smooth as silk. No cooking, no straining, no waiting over night. It will however thicken up a lot in the frig,. You can add nutritional yeast, saffron, chipotle pepper... for varieties, Even add Cayenne and Kale for a cheddar.
I love this guy’s wit and humor.
Next level Asian 😂
😬
A great way to use the pulp from the cashew milk!!
