Pimento Cashew Cheese

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Raw Cashews Soaked overnight, drained & rinsed
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 tbsp Pimentos
  • 2 tbsp Pimento juice from jar
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • pinch Pepper
  • water (optional, as needed)

Instructions

  • Soak cashews overnight.  Drain and rinse cashews.  Place them with the rest of the ingredients in a high-power blender and blend. 
  • Scrape down sides, blend again.  Repeat as many times as is necessary until mixture is soft and spreadable.  Taste and add more salt if desired.
  • Note:
    For a creamier consistency, add a tablespoon of water (or slightly more) until desired smoothness.
    If you want to take it to the next level, replace the pimentos with roasted red peppers or sundried tomatoes.  You can also replace the apple cider vinegar with juice from a jar of your favourite dill pickles!  Tastes seriously delicious!
