Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 3 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in warm water for at least 1 hour and drained, water reserved
5–6 Tbsp. reserved soaking water
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp. white soy miso (or chickpea miso)

Instructions

Combine the cashews, 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the reserved soaking water, the lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and miso in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Add up to 2 tablespoons more water for a thinner sauce.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. The cheese will thicken when chilled, so you may need to add more water to thin it back out.
