Author's Notes

When blending, you'll need to stop the food processor or blender every so often and use a spatula to push down the cheese on the sides. There will still be some texture in the cheese, this is okay as it doesn't have to be perfectly creamy.

I've included ranges for some of the ingredients so you can create the flavor profile you desire.

It should last in the fridge for about 2 weeks.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
After Macadamia Nuts (2 cups) have been soaked, drain water and give them a quick rinse.
step 2
In a food processor or high-power blender place nuts and Filtered Water (1 cup). Blend until smooth.
step 3
Next, add Apple Cider Vinegar (1 Tbsp) and blend some more until creamy.
step 4
Add Dried Rosemary (1 tsp), Dried Parsley (1 tsp), Dried Basil (1 tsp), Simply Organic Garlic Powder (1 tsp), Probiotic Capsules (2) (open up capsules and pour probiotics into the mixture), Nutritional Yeast (1 Tbsp), and Sea Salt (1 pinch). Blitz again just until combined.
step 5
Scrape out the mixture onto a cheesecloth or nutbag so it's breathable and form into a round shape. Place a cooling rack on top of a bowl. Place cheese on top of the cooling rack so it's got lots of room to breathe.
step 6
Let it sit on the counter for 24-72 hours or place in a warm place like the oven, with the oven off. Your cheese is ready to enjoy when it starts to get stinky. Trust me, you'll know! Refrigerate as soon as you want it to stop culturing.
