 Ingredients for Cashew Cheese Recipe 

• 1 cup - raw cashews, soaked for a minimum of two hours and maybe overnight, then drained
• 2 tablespoons (10g) - Nutritional yeast 
• 2 tsp - freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ¼ tsp - garlic powder 
• ½ tsp - fine salt
• ¼ tsp - freshly ground black pepper

What is the recipe for Cashew Cheese?

• Add the lemon juice, garlic powder, soaked cashews, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast in a blender jar. 
• Blend all the ingredients until it creates a coarse, moist mixture. Pour out the mixture using a spatula from the jar. Also, clean the jar's sides using the same spatula.
• Sprinkle some water into the jar, and run it one more time for 2-3 seconds. Stop and clean the jar once again. 
• Add a tablespoon more water to the mixture, if necessary, and process for a further full 1-2 minutes or until the cashew cheese is thick and smooth. The texture should resemble hummus.
• After tasting the cashew cheese, season with salt, pepper, and lemon as desired. 

It's time to serve now. When stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, cashew cheese can last up to 6 days. Add fresh herbs or other flavorings if desired.

Having cheddar cheese cashew is the most guilt-free spread to have. It has its own set of benefits. Some of them are as follows-

• It has no cholesterol and very little saturated fat because it is a plant-based meal (compared to 25 milligrams of cholesterol in an ounce of goat cheese). The short version is this: Depending on what you're aiming to add or avoid to your diet, cashew cheese may be a healthy alternative.
• Cashew cheese made from plants is delicious and high in calcium, protein, fiber, and vitamin B. Compared to dairy, it has more vitamins and minerals. It lacks the saturated fats found in animal cheese, which raises cholesterol and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
